Our Opener Repair Process
- Diagnostic & safety check of door balance, springs, cables, tracks, and opener.
- Sensor alignment & wiring test; clean and re-aim photo-eyes, verify proper LED states.
- Calibrate limits/force so the door seals firmly yet reverses safely.
- Repair/replace wear parts (belt/chain, gear/sprocket, trolley, capacitor).
- Electronics check (transformer, logic board, surge protection).
- Program remotes/keypads, verify HomeLink where applicable.
- Final test for quiet travel, consistent auto-reverse, and smooth closing.
When Repair Makes Sense (and When to Replace)
Repair is typically best for: sensor misalignment, limit/force calibration, remotes/keypads, belts/chains, trolleys, run capacitors.
Consider replacement if: the motor is obsolete, electronics are repeatedly failing, parts are discontinued, or you want modern features (battery backup, Wi-Fi/app control, LED lighting).
We’ll explain options and costs so you can choose confidently.
Things to Try Before Calling us for Service
- Wipe sensor lenses; confirm both sensor LEDs are solid (not blinking).
- Remove debris from the sensor beam path.
- Make sure the door can move freely (no locks engaged, track obstructions). Avoid increasing your force to mask a door balance problem, this strains the opener and can damage the system.
- If those don’t solve it, schedule a visit, our techs handle the rest.
