The garage door opener is the part of a garage door you use most, often several times a day, and you notice right away when it stops working.

On time arrival, Rapid diagnosis and fix of issue, along with tune-up of tracks and tension, sprayed lubricant on hinges. Excellent job so that the remote controlled garage door now works smoothly and reliably.
Residential garage door openers
Most residential garage door openers are belt drive or chain drive. A belt drive garage door opener runs more quietly, which matters when there is a bedroom above or beside the garage. A chain drive garage door opener is a durable, economical choice for a detached garage.
Many current garage door openers also offer battery backup, so you can still get the car out during a power outage. Smartphone control is another common feature, and it lets you check from anywhere whether the garage door is closed.
Commercial garage door operators
A commercial garage door operator has to suit the garage door’s size and weight and how many times a day it runs. We install and service Overhead Door™ commercial garage door operators, including the CDX, RSX, RHX and RMX lines, with models ranging from standard to heavy duty.
Garage door opener trouble?
If a remote or keypad stops working, try a new battery first, then check our guides to programming your garage door opener and your wireless keypad. If the garage door opener hums without lifting the garage door, or the garage door reverses before it closes, our repair page explains the likely causes and what you can safely check yourself.
When you need a technician, call 1-800-688-4312. The office will talk through what the garage door opener is doing and explain the likely fix and the cost before a technician is sent.
When to replace a garage door opener
Most garage door openers last 10 to 15 years. A garage door opener that has become loud or unreliable may be near the end of its life. One made before 1993 may not have photo-eye safety sensors, and garage door opener manufacturers recommend replacing it.
If you are replacing your garage door, it is a convenient time to replace an older garage door opener too.
