Our Work

Broken and Repaired Springs

If your operator has ever failed to open the door past a few inches, or the door has been very heavy to lift manually when unhooked from the operator, 9 times out of 10 it’s probably because you have a broken spring. We always take the door size and weight into consideration to ensure we are putting the correct spring sizes on your door to ensure the balance is correct. We always give the option to the customer, when available, to replace just the broken spring, or the set of springs as a whole and test everything out once the work is complete to ensure the tension is calibrated correctly.

Bad Limit Switches and Carriage

The limit switches on this old Genie Screw Drive operator had gone bad and the operator traveled too far back and got the carriage stuck against the back wall. We unhooked everything and got it all unstuck and checked on the carriage that unfortunately had some damaged teeth. We replaced the part and also the non-working limit switches and made sure all was working properly.

Damaged Top Section and J Arm

This door had been shut on top of a truck and didn’t quite reverse from the force in time. The customer believed they needed a new top section, but we assured them that wasn’t necessary if they would like to repair it instead. We straightened, flattened, and smoothed out as much of the damaged center stile, top strut, and j arm connecting the door to the operator as best possible. We installed a new operator bracket bracing up the damaged area and secured everything. No replacement was necessary.

Inoperable Door/New Motor/New Springs

Job 1

This door had a missing roller, didn’t have any springs or cables on it, and also had no operator. We replaced the missing roller first. Secondly, we installed new cables and extension springs, including safety cables to keep the springs where they belong. Lastly, we installed a new operator, including the wall button, safety sensors, and the remote, serviced the door, and made sure everything was running properly.

Job 2

The door had a broken spring and the operator had a broken sprocket on the gear kit. We were able to arrive and take care of the job the same day.

Replacing a Relic

This operator was around 30ish years old and was no longer functioning. An average lifespan for operators is usually 15-20 years or so. Since 1993 openers have been required by the US Legislature to have safety sensors. This relic was before that time. We installed the new operator and ran wires for the sensors and installed them, alongside the wall control button and the remote. We always make sure the operator is lined up straight, and positioned at the correct distances where it mounts above the door, and where it hangs from the ceiling.
