GARAGE DOOR IS EXCESSIVELY LOUD
A loud garage door could signal a problem with your garage door opener motor, as well as a problem with the track or rollers that the door rides on. In addition to being bothersome and inconvenient, this could indicate more significant difficulties in the future if not addressed swiftly. A specialist can examine the garage door opener and the garage door itself to determine the noise source. We will recommend a repair or a garage door installation based on what we see.
GARAGE DOOR IS STUCK CLOSED
If your garage door won’t open, turn off the garage door opener and manually open the garage door to make sure it’s not a power issue or a problem with your garage door opener. Do not slam the door shut. If it still doesn’t open, you’ll need to contact a garage door service.
GARAGE DOOR IS STUCK OPEN
If your garage door doesn’t close, check if anything obscures the door’s safety sensors. Keep in mind that direct sunlight on the sensors can cause problems. If you can’t get the door to close, don’t try to close it yourself because it may fall on you and cause injury.

GARAGE DOOR IS UNBALANCED
If you physically lift your garage door, it should return to a resting position around three or four feet above the ground. You’ll need someone to balance the door for you if it goes all the way up and doesn’t come down far enough or if it smashes down.
GARAGE DOOR HAS VISIBLE DAMAGE
If you see any cracks or dents in your door, weatherstripping, or other garage door components, you should have them fixed as soon as possible. Let our experts replace your garage doors.
WHAT IS A GARAGE DOOR OPENER?
Most modern garage door openers use either a belt or a chain drive system. Both are available through our Wichita Garage Door Repair Services. Although many people prefer the durability and strength of the chain drive, if the ultra-quiet operation is a concern, you may choose the belt drive.
Both are incredibly durable and long-lasting and will effortlessly open and close your garage door day after day and year after year. Our LiftMaster ® garage door openers, both chain and belt drive, feature MyQ technology, which allows you to monitor and control your door from any digital device with an internet connection. LiftMaster® Residential Jackshaft garage door openers are also available too.
Garage door openers are often installed coming down from the garage ceiling, these types of openers are great when you don’t have enough overhead clearance room in your garage. Because these openers are mounted next to the door, there is no need to worry about ceiling space. This opener may also include a battery backup, allowing it to operate even if there is a power outage.
Did you know that garage doors are the heaviest and largest moving object in your home or business?
Garage doors are used every single day. It you think about how often a garage door is used in a day, imagine how many times it is used throughout the year. Those uses add up quick! It is crucial that each door is adjusted properly and maintained to keep it functioning correctly and safely.

Spring Torsion
The spring is the most important part of the garage door. It keeps the balance between the downward and upward forces to allow you to open your garage door electronically or by hand easily. It is important to keep this item serviced. Due to the tension in the spring, it is hazardous for the layman to do even with the right equipment. Let the trained professionals at Garage Door Repair Services handle the repair and recalibration of your garage spring.
Garage Door Panel Repair
Many modern garage doors aren’t single pieces, thus requiring a complete replacement when only part of the garage door becomes damaged. Replacing one panel (as shown in the picture on the left) can be quite cost-effective. There are other doors different from the one pictured with smaller panels that don’t go the span of the garage door opening. If only part of your garage door is damaged and needs replacement, allow one of our technicians to repair it for a fraction of the cost of total replacement.
Additionally, more panels come more hinges on which those panels separate to provide a smooth ascend and descend of the door. These hinges, if not properly maintained, will become corroded and squeak loudly. If nothing is done, they can and will break. An easy fix is to use WD-40 on these hinges at least once a year. If these hinges do become problematic, allow our technicians to come out and repair or replace them before they cause a bigger issue for your garage door.
Garage Track and Chain Repair
Garage door tracks are the path on which your garage door slides up and down. They can easily be damaged by wayward ladders, tools, or lawn care equipment. Getting your tracks realigned takes some precision not to create stress on the rails and create further damage. Additionally, stoppers and other equipment keep the rails on which your garage door runs from going too fast or slow, causing damage to the tracks.
The electrical motor chain connects the motor to the garage door’s main arm to raise and lower the garage door. This chain, much like a bike chain, can be difficult to get back on the right sprocket if it comes loose. This mechanism is also how you can change from motorized raising and lowering your garage door to manually. This would be useful if the power is out or if you want to raise your garage door a minimal amount for increased air circulation. If you damage your tracks or your chain becomes faulty, allow our trained technicians to come and use their precise tools to rectify the situation.
Garage Electrical Repair
Garage door electrical motors can sometimes be plugged into electrical outlets, as shown in the photo to the left. Still, it is often at a different voltage rate than standard electrical outlets in your home. Other motors need to be hardwired and thus need a separate breaker switch. As such, it’s dangerous to attempt a repair on your own. Rather allow our electricians to diagnose and repair your garage door electric motor. Through their inspection of your garage door electrical motor, they’ll be able to tell if it is a wiring issue or if the circuit board or motor is burned out. This will help you determine the scope of the job and whether or not a repair or replacement is necessary.
Garage Door Sensor and Remotes
Sensors and remotes for your garage door are an essential part of the safety and security of your home. The sensors prevent the garage door from closing if there is an obstruction, such as a child running out of the garage, or a ball rolling from outside, or even your car being incorrectly parked. These sensors prevent damage or even loss of life and thus are essential to be maintained and repaired. Since they work via laser connectivity, they could cause eye damage. Allow our professionals with the designated eyewear to come and fix your garage door sensors.
Garage door remotes allow you to raise and lower your garage door at the click of a button. Since many garages connect directly to a home, it’s essential to have them closed to maintain the security of your home. Allow our technicians to repair and sync remotes to your garage door motor. This is especially handy if you have multiple vehicles or people accessing the garage during the day.

Common Issues with Garage Doors
As a Wichita garage door company, we are very familiar with and know exactly how to maintain and fix garages. For example:
Remote control or wall switch failure.
- Diagnosis: Check the power source as it probably has been disrupted in some way.
The garage door does not respond to the remote or keypad.
- Diagnosis: Move closer to the door, replace the battery, or reprogram the remote or keypad.
Garage Door Won’t Close All the Way.
- Diagnosis: Check the close-limit switch or safety sensors; these may need adjusting. Also, make sure the sight path between the electronic sensors is not blocked. You may want to consider lubricating the garage door rollers.
Garage Door Reverses Before Hitting the Floor.
- Diagnosis: In most cases, checking the Safety Eyes connection will fix this problem. If that doesn’t work, adjust the Opener’s travel and pressure limits or make sure the garage door rollers are in good shape and well lubricated can prevent and fix this problem.
Garage Door Reverses Immediately After Touching the Floor.
- Diagnosis: In small increments, adjust the close limit and/or the pressure limit adjustment screws on the garage door opener motor until the door stops after hitting the floor. If your opener doesn’t have screw adjustments, you will need to use the program and up and down buttons to set the appropriate limits.

Garage Door Spring Repair and Maintenance
If maintained routinely, a garage door spring can last an average of 10,000 to 20,000 cycles. This part is suggested to be replaced every 5–12 years because it is one of the most fragile parts of a garage door and is subjected to enormous pressure as it opens and closes.
