If your door is making loud noises, moving unevenly, not opening or closing properly, or stuck completely, it’s a good idea to have it checked.

How long does a typical repair take?
Many repairs can be completed in a single visit, depending on the issue and parts needed.
Do I need to be home during the service?
In most cases, yes—especially for initial service. This helps us assess the issue and make sure everything is working properly before we leave.
When should I replace my garage door instead of repairing it?
If your door is severely damaged, outdated, or requires frequent repairs, replacement may be the better long-term option. We can help you decide what makes the most sense.
Tips & Tricks
Helpful tips for basic troubleshooting and everyday garage door use.
Programming a Garage Door Remote
Most remotes can be programmed using the “Learn” button on your opener motor (usually on the back or side). Press the Learn button, then press the button on your remote within 30 seconds. Your opener light may blink to confirm it’s paired.
Door Not Closing? Check the Sensors
If your door won’t close, check the safety sensors near the floor on each side of the track. Make sure they’re aligned, clean, and nothing is blocking the beam.
Noisy Garage Door?
Grinding or squeaking sounds are often caused by dry rollers or hinges. Light lubrication can help, but ongoing noise may mean parts are wearing out.

⚠️ Safety Notice
Garage door springs are under extreme tension and can cause serious injury if handled incorrectly. Do not attempt to adjust or repair springs yourself. If you suspect a spring issue, contact a professional.

Tips & Tricks
Helpful tips for keeping your automatic sliding doors running smoothly and safely.
Keep Tracks Clean
Dirt, dust, and debris can build up in the track and affect how smoothly the door operates. Regularly check and clean the track area to help prevent sticking or uneven movement.
Check Sensors for Obstructions
Automatic doors rely on sensors to open and close safely. Make sure nothing is blocking the sensors and that the lenses are clean. Dirty or blocked sensors can cause the door to behave unpredictably.
Avoid Adjusting Settings Without Guidance
If your door is opening randomly, not closing properly, or acting inconsistently, it may be a sensor or control issue. Avoid adjusting sensitivity or internal settings unless you’re familiar with the system, as this can make the problem worse.
Listen for Changes in Operation
Unusual noises like grinding, squeaking, or hesitation during movement can be early signs of wear. Addressing these early can help prevent bigger issues down the line.
When to Contact Us
If your automatic sliding door isn’t operating properly or consistently, it’s best to have it checked. Reach out if you notice:
- The door won’t open or close
- Inconsistent or unpredictable operation
- Doors opening randomly or not responding
- Slow movement or hesitation
- Unusual noises during operation
- Sensor issues or safety concerns
- Doors sticking, dragging, or not sliding smoothly
If something doesn’t seem right, it’s better to address it early before it leads to downtime or safety issues.
⚠️ Safety Notice
Automatic sliding doors rely on sensors and moving components to operate safely. If your door is not functioning properly, avoid continued use and have it inspected. Do not attempt to adjust sensors, operators, or internal components unless you are familiar with the system.
