Garage Door Opener Repair in Eagle Pass, TX

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.

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.

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.

Look above the door at the torsion spring. If you can see a two inch gap in the coil, the spring has broken and the door is far too heavy to lift, so stop trying. If the spring looks intact, check the safety sensors near the floor for a blinking light or an obstruction, then check the opener has power. If the motor runs but the door doesn't move, the drive gear or trolley is usually the culprit.

Often, yes. If your door model is still in production we can source a matching section and swap it, which is usually far cheaper than a full replacement. On older or discontinued doors a match may not exist, and once two or more sections are damaged a new door normally works out better value. We tell you which situation you're in before you commit.
