Repair vs. Replace

Many opener issues—stripped gears, misaligned sensors, worn trolley assemblies—are repairable for less than a replacement. If your opener lacks modern safety or convenience features, we price both options so you can choose what makes sense.

FAQs

Why is my opener clicking or humming but not moving the door?

This can point to a worn gear, capacitor issue, seized trolley, or a door that's out of balance. We'll diagnose the root cause and recommend the best fix.

Should I choose a belt or chain drive opener?

Belt drives are typically quieter, while chain drives are a durable option for many doors. We'll recommend the right fit based on your door weight, usage, and noise preferences.

Can you program my remotes, keypad, and vehicle buttons?

Yes. We can program remotes, keypads, and common vehicle systems like HomeLink and Car2U, and make sure safety sensors and reversal settings are correct.
