Garage Door Opener Repair Richmond Hill

Garage Door Opener Repair Richmond Hill

Richmond Hill is a beautiful town, but the weather can play havoc with your garage doors, especially the garage door opener.

These doors, especially overhead doors are extremely heavy, and a malfunction can be a dangerous thing.

So, it is logical to ensure that proper maintenance is carried out regularly so that these doors (and their components) last longer.

However, no matter how well maintained your garage doors are, there will come a time when parts start to fail.

This is because of the weather and the wear and tear that comes from regular use. So, what happens when you garage door opener doesn’t function anymore?

You need to get it repaired! And that means calling Richmond Hill garage door repair experts, i.e., us!

DIY Repair vs. Professional Repair

But why do you need to call in professionals to repair a small little component such as your door opener?

Well, it’s simply because we have been trained to handle such jobs. The more detailed answer is this:

Overhead doors are extremely heavy and trying to repair even a small part of that system can be a dangerous – even life-threatening – task.

That little garage door opener is what operates your doors.

It manages the weight of the door and ensures that you and your family are protected from harm by detecting if there is an obstruction while opening and closing.

This means that it is connected to the other parts that make up your garage door.

If you try to fix this issue yourself, you could end up damaging your garage door even more. In a worst-case scenario, you could end up getting seriously hurt.

We know how to safely check your garage door and its opener to diagnose why it is not functioning properly.

We have the right tools and the expertise to ensure that no harm comes to us, or you and your family. Remember, using the wrong tools can damage not just your garage door, but also the tools.

At the end of the day, a DIY fix could end up costing you a lot more money than what a professional would have charged to the repair work in the first place.

When Should You Call Us?

If you notice any one of these problems, then it could be because there is something wrong with your garage door opener:

• The opener does not respond to your remote control and wall switch. Before you call us, you can check for the following things:
  • Do the batteries in your remote-control need changing?
  • Is the motor unit plugged in correctly?
  • Has the circuit breaker/fuse/GFCI outlet burned out or tripped?

If none of these issues is the problem, then it’s time to call in the professionals.

In any of the cases given below, it is best to call us in so that we can get to the root cause of the problem.

• You garage door will not close all the way.
• The garage door reverses before touching the floor.
• The garage door immediately starts rising as soon as it touches the floor.
• Your garage door does not open properly.
• Even if your garage door opens all the way, the motor doesn’t stop running.
• The overhead doors will not open in winter.

The reason why all of these issues require a professional touch is because these kinds of repairs can be dangerous (we cannot emphasize this point enough!). Openers sometimes stop functioning when another component is not working properly.

For example, it could be because the rollers on the garage door rails have become worn out, damaged or rusty.

This would mean replacing the rollers – and that is not a job to be undertaken without the right precautions and tools.

It could also be that your garage door’s close-limit switch needs to be re-adjusted.

This is the safety measure installed in all garage doors today which ensures that the door will not shut down when there are people standing in its way.

You need to know how to make these adjustments correctly, because if you don’t, then that massively heavy door could end up hurting someone seriously when it closes down on them.
