Garage door tune-up & safety check

A quiet door in October can be a broken spring in January. Annual tune-ups catch worn rollers, dry hinges, weak balance, and sensor issues before they strand you.

What we check

  • Spring balance with opener disconnected
  • Cables, drums, rollers, hinges, and bearings
  • Track alignment and hardware torque
  • Bottom seal and perimeter weatherstrip
  • Photo-eye alignment and auto-reverse
  • Opener limits, force, and battery backup if equipped

Best timing in the Black Hills is early fall — before the first hard freeze. If we find a spring near failure or frayed cables, you get options and prices before we replace anything.
