Our techs weigh the door to determine exact spring size and wire diameter for Smithtown’s specific housing styles, perfectly adjusting coil tension.
The wall button lights up and the drive finishes its cycle, but the door never stirs. Stripped gears, a burnt logic board, or a photo eye knocked sideways are usually where we find it.

The town of Smithtown is a North Shore Long Island community. As with any other locale of similar latitude, the winter months are very harsh on garage door parts, particularly metal torsion springs that are subjected to the freeze-thaw cycles of January and February.
Cable, hinge and track hardware are also prone to corrosion in the salt air of the North Shore, compared to 10 miles inland. Thus, if your garage door is moving slowly in November, it will likely fail in February. See the International Door Association‘s advice on how to perform seasonal maintenance before it gets cold outside.
