I think I need a new receiver for my garage door opener. Is this a do-it-yourself project?
If you are comfortable working from a ladder, it may be possible to replace your receiver and transmitters yourself. There are a few exceptions, so please call or email one of our showrooms for up-to-date information.
Do you take credit cards or personal checks?
Sure. We gladly accept cash, checks, MasterCard and Visa credit cards.
Do the technicians carry the parts I may need on their trucks?
Our service trucks stock a large number of parts for all brands of equipment. It is quite possible that we will have the part you need without making a second trip.
I know you give free estimates on new/replacement doors and openers. How about estimates on service?
We will provide you with expected costs for standard repairs, such as broken springs. But for a firm price, service and repair work involves a site inspection by a qualified field technician.
My transmitter will open the door, but when I try to close the door it only goes about 6 inches and then reverses. What is wrong?
There are a few possible problems that might prevent your door from closing after you have opened it. Most commonly, the photo cells are out of alignment or there is an obstruction in the way of the photo cell safety beam.
How do I reset my operator?
Although most operators do not have a reset button on them, it sometimes helps to unplug the unit, wait 60 seconds, and plug it back in (sometimes this will allow the internal computer chip to re-set itself).
What is included in a Tune-up Special?
The tune-up special includes complete inspection and lubrication of all moving parts (i.e. springs, rollers, hinges, cables, pulleys, drive mechanisms) on up to two single car doors or one double car door, and the attached motor operators. Also included is any adjustments needed and tightening of any loose hardware. Replacement parts and accessories are available at an additional cost.
What is your Warranty?
New doors and motor operators are covered by a minimum of one year warranty on material and workmanship. Several door and openers have extended material warranties beyond the first year. Service and repair work warranties are 90-days on parts and 30-days on labor.
