Your request
Tell us what the door is doing
This is a request. The owner reads it, usually between jobs, and calls you back to agree a time and a price. Nothing is held until you’ve spoken.
It goes straight to the owner.
Can you see a gap in the spring above the door? Don’t lift the door, don’t run the opener, and don’t touch the spring. Call (656) 236-2374 instead of typing.
What happens next
- The owner calls you back, from the truck, usually within an hour or two.
- He asks the two or three things this form can’t: usually where the springs are and where the door is sitting now.
- You hear the visit price, and a range for the likely repair with the reason it’s a range.
Before anything else
If the door is stuck or partly open
Don’t stand or drive under it
While the door is stuck or partly open, keep people, pets and cars out from under it.
Don’t pull the red release cord
If a spring has gone, the release lets the full weight of the door down at once.
Leave it where it is
Don’t run the opener to “see if it goes”. We come to it.
While you wait for the call back
The reverse test, if the spring is whole
- Lay a 1½-inch board flat in the middle of the opening. A roll of paper towels on its side is close enough.
- Close the door onto it with the wall button or the remote, and watch the bottom edge.
- It must touch and go back up If it doesn’t, stop using the opener and call. The answer is never to turn the force up.
Only if the spring above the door is whole. If you can see a gap in the coil, leave the door alone and call.
