Between tune-ups

What to watch for between tune-ups

Once a month: Test the auto-reverse, which every opener manual must tell you to do. Lay a 2x4 flat on the floor in the middle of the doorway and close the door with the wall button: the door must reverse when it touches the board. If it does not, stop closing the door with the opener and see opener repair.
The door feels heavy or hangs crooked: Stop using it and leave the springs and cables alone: they hold the door up under tension. See spring replacement and cable repair.
Grinding, rattling or shaking as it moves: Usually worn rollers: see roller replacement.
The door rubs, jerks or stops partway: Usually a bent or loose track: see track repair.
Daylight, water or leaves under the closed door: Usually a worn bottom seal: see weatherstripping and seals.

"I highly recommend Eric, we had him fix our garage door few months ago, recently we were having some issues with it. I called Eric on the weekend and he immediately answered the phone, and came within an hour to our place to fix it. I was extremely impressed about how responsive and thorough professional Eric is."

Basharat Sheikh Google Review · Aug 2025

"Eric was able to help me out on a super cold Monday holiday recently. He was able to diagnose my issue and get my garage door working again. Price was fair and he was very good at providing some insight into things to keep an eye on moving forward. I'll definitely keep him on speed dial for whatever I run into next."

Bob North Attleborough, MA · Jan 2025

"Our technician Eric came on time gave a more fair price then we were previously quoted from another company and did the job quickly and thoroughly and now our door is working better then ever (even got rid of that annoying clicking noise we used to have)."
