Common Garage Door Opener Repair Issues

There are a few garage door opener repair issues that routinely pop up with garage door openers. Screw drive openers tend to develop problems with the trolley or carriage carrier. Over time, the garage door’s weight begins to add tension to the trolley, which can damage it, causing the garage door to slide when opening. This sign can point to an issue with torsion springs as well. They both may need to be replaced.

With chain drive garage door openers, problems arise with broken sprockets and stripped gears. Sprockets carry the stress of the garage door weight and may need to be replaced due to wear. If you regularly follow through with garage door maintenance, your opener should stay in good shape and last a long time. Conducting regular checkups and noticing any damage quickly will save you money and stress in the long run.
