We Look Properly
We cycle the door by hand and under power, check the balance with the opener disconnected, and find the part that has actually failed rather than the one that is easiest to replace.

Garage Door Opener Repair Services
Openers usually fail in ways that look terminal but are not. We test properly before recommending replacement, because the motor is often fine.

Garage Door Opener Repair
When an opener stops working the instinct is to replace it, and most of the time that is not necessary. A stripped drive gear, a failed capacitor, a disengaged trolley or a pair of misaligned safety sensors will all leave you with a door that does not move and a motor that sounds fine — and all four are repairs rather than replacements.
The single most common fault we attend is the cheapest: photo-eye sensors knocked out of line. They sit six inches off the floor, which is exactly where snow gets shovelled, where plough spray lands, and where things get leaned against them. If your door reverses before it closes, that is where we look first.

Our Services
Opener Faults We Fix
Chain, belt or screw drive, and every major brand. We diagnose the actual fault before quoting anything.
01
Opener Motor Repair & Replacement
Motor and drive-gear repair. A stripped nylon gear is a common failure that sounds catastrophic — the motor runs, nothing moves — and is a straightforward part to replace.
02
Remote & Keypad Programming
Remotes and keypads programmed or replaced, including rolling-code units and cars with built-in buttons that have lost their pairing.
03
Sensor Alignment & Repair
Safety sensor alignment and replacement. Cheapest job we do, most common cause of a door that will not close, and worth checking yourself before you call.
04
Drive System Repair (Chain/Belt/Screw)
Chain, belt and screw drive repair: worn chains, stretched belts, dry screw drives and the trolleys and couplers that connect them to the door.
05
Opener Troubleshooting & Diagnostics
Proper diagnostics on an opener that is behaving intermittently — the hardest fault to pin down and the one most often solved by replacing the wrong part.
06
Full Opener System Upgrade
Full system upgrades where repair genuinely is not worth it, including battery backup so the door still opens when a winter storm takes the power out.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The questions we get asked on the phone most often, answered the way we would answer them there.
The opener has stopped responding — where do I start?
Start with the obvious: power, the wall button, and whether the trolley has been left disengaged. After that the usual culprits are the safety sensors, a stripped drive gear or a failed capacitor. We will find which rather than guess.
Is it worth repairing, or should I just replace it?
Repair, if the unit is under about ten years old and the fault is a gear, capacitor or sensor. Replace if the logic board has gone on an older unit, or if it predates modern safety requirements — we will tell you which situation you are in.
Can you pair my remote, keypad or car button?
Yes, including most vehicle built-in buttons. Bring the car into the driveway and we can usually pair it during the same visit.
Do you cover every opener brand?
All the major brands — LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman, Skylink and others. The mechanisms have far more in common than the branding suggests.
How long will it take to sort out?
Most repairs are an hour or less. A full replacement including setting travel, force limits and testing the safety reverses takes two to three.
