What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is Garage Door Opener Repair?
A targeted service to restore safe, reliable operation by addressing electrical, control, or mechanical subsystems:
Power & controls: Outlet/GFCI, wall station/lock, remotes/keypad pairing.
Safety sensors: Alignment, wiring/polarity, sun-glare mitigation.
Limits & force: Accurate open/close stops and safe obstruction reversal.
Drive train: Gears & sprocket, rail/trolley/carriage, chain/belt tension.
Electronics: Logic board, RPM/tach sensor, capacitor (AC units), Wi-Fi/app.
Why Choose Urgent Garage Doors
One accountable team: Diagnose → repair → program → tune → certify in one visit whenever possible.
Brand-savvy: LiftMaster/Chamberlain (myQ), Genie, Linear, Marantec, and more.
Root-cause mindset: We correct door balance/track issues that overload openers.
Documented: Photos, error notes, parts used, and settings left with every job.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
If the opener hums/grinds or stalls, stop cycling—you can strip gears.
Confirm the manual lock on the door isn’t engaged.
Don’t bypass or tape over safety sensors.
Call our team—we’ll triage (GFCI/outlet, wall lock, sensor lights) and book a repair window.
Common Scenarios We Handle
No response / clicking only (power/wall control/board)
Runs but won’t move door (gears/sprocket, trolley, bent rail)
Won’t close / reverses at floor (sensors, limits/force, glare)
Stops mid-travel (binding door, balance, force calibration)
Remotes/keypad dead (memory cleared, interference, lock mode)
Wi-Fi/myQ issues (setup, firmware, router changes)
Safety & Site Control
Verify door balance, unplug if unsafe, protect vehicles/floors.
Power & Control Check
Test outlet/GFCI, wall station/lock, re-pair remotes/keypad; inspect surge protection.
Sensors & Programming
Align/clean photo-eyes, correct wiring/polarity, add sun shields if needed; program open/close limits and up/down force.
Mechanical Inspection
Inspect gears/sprocket, rail/trolley, chain/belt tension, header bracket, and mounting integrity.
Electronic Diagnostics
Evaluate logic board, RPM/tach, capacitor (AC units), error codes; replace components as indicated.
Program, Test & Certify
Re-learn travel; verify quiet, smooth cycles; complete UL 325 photo-eye and 2×4 reversal tests; connect Wi-Fi/app; document settings.
What’s Included
Comprehensive diagnostic (power/controls/sensors/limits + mechanics/electronics)
Minor corrections (sensor alignment, programming, tension set)
On-truck repairs (gear kits, trolleys, boards, sensors) when approved
Spring balance & track check so the opener isn’t masking friction
UL 325 safety verification and opener travel/force calibration
Documentation (cause, parts, settings, tips)
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Typical duration: 45–90 minutes; add time for gear/rail or board replacement.
Key cost drivers: Cause (sensor/limits vs. mechanical vs. electronics), brand/model, coastal corrosion, need for surge/outlet upgrades.
Estimate clarity: Separate lines for diagnostic/tune, parts, and labor; optional surge protector listed.
Insurance & Claims Help
After surge/impact/storm, we provide before/after photos, part numbers, and a concise narrative for your records/adjuster.
(Coverage varies by policy; not financial advice.)
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
Security risk (phantom opens or door stuck open)
Gear/board damage from repeated stalls/overforce
Panel/track wear if the door is binding and the opener compensates
Loss of remote/app access and safety noncompliance
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Parts accuracy: OEM or equivalent boards, gear kits, trolleys/rails, sensors matched to model/revision.
Alignment & tension: Rail level, header bracket into structure; correct chain/belt tension; no over-tension.
Power quality: Recommend UL-listed surge protector and dedicated outlet.
Coastal OC: Corrosion-aware fasteners, dielectric grease on connectors, sun shields for sensors.
Compliance: Documented UL 325 pass; opener force within spec; settings labeled.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a new opener or can mine be fixed?
Most issues are repairable (sensors, limits, gears, trolleys, boards). We’ll show repair vs. replace options if multiple subsystems are failing.
Why does it only fail at certain times?
Likely sunlight on sensors, heat expansion, or intermittent wiring. We mitigate glare and secure wiring/brackets.
My remotes stopped working—are they bad?
Not always. Could be memory cleared, wall lock, or interference. We test and re-pair.
Will you set up Wi-Fi/myQ again?
Yes—network join, app login, notifications, and vehicle HomeLink/Car2U pairing included after repairs.
Is force just “turn it up till it works”?
No—force is set to manufacturer spec after fixing friction/balance so safety is preserved.
Do you service wall-mount (jackshaft) openers?
Absolutely—limits/force, deadbolt sync, and cable tension are tuned there too.
