Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get my car out if the door won't open?
Look for the red emergency release cord hanging from the opener trolley. Pull it to disconnect the door from the opener, then lift the door manually. Important: only do this if the springs are intact, if a spring is broken, the door is too heavy to lift safely.
Why did my garage door suddenly stop working?
The most common sudden failure is a broken spring, often accompanied by a loud bang. Other causes include a power surge that tripped the opener's circuit breaker, or a snapped cable.
Will my opener need to be replaced?
Not necessarily. We repair openers in most cases, replacing the logic board, drive gear, or capacitor is often cheaper than a new unit. We'll give you an honest assessment before recommending replacement.
