What is the door doing?
Won't close
Call 425-776-5162The door starts down and comes back up, or it will not close under power at all.
What we do Get the opening closed and locked first, by hand if we have to, then fix the safety device or setting that stopped it.

Six parts do the work on a door operator
A commercial operator and a home garage door opener have the same six. Pick a number to see what goes wrong and what we do about it.
Motor and gearbox
An electric motor and a gear reducer turn the door shaft or pull a trolley along a rail. On a commercial operator a brake holds the door where it stops. Heat, age and a door that is out of balance wear them out.

Straight answers
Operator and opener questions we hear most
Not on the list? Call and ask. A person answers.
Call 425-776-5162The door is stuck open and the operator will not close it. What now?
Call 425-776-5162. The line is answered 24 hours a day, and an on-call technician can come out nights, weekends and holidays. We get the opening closed and secured first, then repair the operator.
Do you repair operators and openers you didn't install?
Yes. We repair commercial door operators and home garage door openers of any make, including ones another company put in.
Should we repair the operator or replace it?
Often a repair is enough: a limit switch, a photo eye, a gear or a board. Our technicians find the fault and give you both options. When parts are no longer made or the motor is worn out, a new operator is the better value.
The opener strains and the door barely moves. Is it the opener?
Usually it is the door. With a broken spring, the opener is lifting the full weight of the door. Stop running it and call. We replace the spring, balance the door and then test the opener.
Which home garage door openers do you install?
Chain-drive, belt-drive and side-mount jackshaft openers, with remotes and keyless entry pads. Ask about an emergency battery backup for when the power goes out. See residential garage doors.
