Garage Door Opener Repair for Alton homes and businesses
If the motor runs but the door sits still, the opener has usually stripped its drive gear or lost the trolley. Both are repairable and neither needs a whole new unit. We diagnose it properly in Alton before anyone starts talking about replacement.
Alongside the repair we align and test the safety sensors and check the auto reverse against a solid object. That test is the difference between an opener that stops for a child's bike and one that doesn't, and it takes two minutes.

Garage Door Opener Repair questions from Alton customers
My opener runs but the door doesn't move. What is that?
Nine times out of ten it's a stripped drive gear on a chain drive unit, or a disconnected trolley. Both are repairable. Pull the emergency release cord and try lifting the door by hand: if it lifts easily the door is fine and the fault is in the opener.
Should I repair or replace my opener?
If the unit is under about ten years old and the fault is a gear kit, sensor or board, repair is usually the better value. Past fifteen years, parts get scarce and a replacement with battery backup and a modern safety system often costs little more than a big repair.
Why does my door reverse before it reaches the floor?
Usually a misaligned or dirty safety sensor, or a down force setting that's drifted. Occasionally it's a genuine obstruction like a build up under the seal. It can also mean the door is out of balance and the opener is reading the extra weight as an obstacle.
How fast can you get to me in Alton?
Most calls in Alton get a same day slot, and if you call early we can usually give you a morning window. Emergency work, meaning a door stuck open or a car trapped inside, gets dispatched on the same call, 24 hours a day. You get a text when the technician is on the way, not a vague all-day window.

We quote a flat price before any work starts, so the number you agree to is the number you pay.
Do you charge a call out fee in Alton?
No call out fee for standard repair appointments in Alton. The technician diagnoses the door, gives you a flat price, and you decide from there. If you go ahead, the diagnosis is included in the job.
