Opener Repair FAQs
Why does my garage door only open a few inches and then stop?
This is almost always a result of a broken or misaligned safety sensor (photo eye). The technician will clean and align the sensors, or diagnose a faulty wire.
What is the quietest type of garage door opener?
Belt-driven openers are the quietest option, using a rubber belt instead of a metal chain or screw, making them ideal for homes with living space above the garage.
