A photo eye may become misaligned. Although the motor may run, the trolley will fail to engage in these instances. These types of failures are commonly repaired by our service techs. The most common parts for LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie and Craftsman openers are kept on our trucks for every garage door service Birch Bay call.

Cables are attached to the bottom of the door and run up to the cable drum on the torsion shaft.
Here, the spring’s counterbalancing tension is transferred so that the door can be lifted.

It isn’t, and the reason is practical, not a sales pitch.

An open door can have several reasons. A stuck or shorted wall push button, a fault in the wiring of the control circuit, an old remote control with a fixed code that by chance still works and then controls your door, or the control board itself can be the cause of the open door. Our service technician can track down the cause on a garage door repair Birch Bay WA service call.
