Local Knowledge
Common Opener & Smart Access Issues in Westmont
Springs sized for an old door
Widened openings and replacement doors often keep the original springs, leaving the door out of balance.
Openers burning out early
An out-of-balance door makes the opener do the lifting, which wears it out.
Openers with no photo eyes
Period chain-drive openers predate the 1993 federal entrapment protection requirement.
Corrosion on bare steel
Marine air reaches Fountain Valley, so springs, cables and roller stems are checked for rust.

Opener & Smart Access in Westmont - FAQs
Often because the door is out of balance. If the opening was widened or the door replaced, the original springs may no longer match its weight, and the opener ends up lifting the door. We check balance before replacing an opener. Door balancing and tension adjustment typically runs $75 to $150 in Orange County.
Openers made before 1993 predate the federal entrapment protection requirement and may have no photo eyes. Test the auto-reverse with a flat 2x4 on the floor in the door's path. New openers must have battery backup under SB 969, and opener installation typically runs $250 to $600 in Orange County.
Check your CC&Rs. In attached housing, they decide whether the door and its hardware belong to the owner or the association, and that is settled before work is scheduled.
Fountain Valley's published permit exemptions do not include doors, so the permit position for your address is confirmed with the Building Division at City Hall, 10200 Slater Avenue, 714-593-4429. Widening an opening or altering a header is structural work and needs a permit.
We take calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with a 30 to 60 minute response, and common spring sizes are carried on the truck, so a broken spring is often replaced in the same visit. Call (949) 529-7743.
