Most older homes (built in the 1970s & 1980s) in the Fort Wayne area have garage openers that are 15 to 20 years old.
These older openers wear out over time and sometimes just stop working. The motor may hum, the trolley may move but the door won’t move. That usually means a stripped drive gear. We can replace the drive gear along with the logic board or photo eye as needed. We work on all brands of openers (LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman, etc.). We will let you know if all it needs is a new drive gear or if it needs to be completely replaced. Garage door opener repair Fort Wayne is one of our most common single-visit jobs, because our trucks carry the usual parts. Never pull the red release cord while the door is open or jammed. Pull it only when the door is fully closed.
Cables wear from the inside out, so by the time a broken strand shows, the whole cable is worn through.
A related problem is a mangled track caused by a failing cable. When a cable fails under load the door falls to one side and rips the track. Then the cable and the track both need replacing. A door that comes off track can weigh 200 pounds or more, and it can drop without warning. Keep people and vehicles clear until a technician secures it. Spring and cable work belongs to a trained technician, never a homeowner. The same goes for the drive gear and wiring inside the opener.

Winter in Fort Wayne is a tough time of year. Most years, the ground freezes up in January and then starts to thaw out by March.
Every spring, our technicians can clearly see the damage that has occurred. A torsion spring may have cracked during the winter, a bottom seal torn from the frozen concrete, or a roller seized up because the grease in it had turned to a thick paste. Every year in April, calls start pouring in from the older neighborhoods in Fort Wayne, along Spy Run Avenue and the Broadway corridor, for garage door repair Fort Wayne IN. The International Door Association publication outlines the proper hardware for different climates, as well as recommended lubrication intervals. It is worth reading before next winter. The Fort Wayne area is a great example of why having a fully stocked truck is so important for garage door service Fort Wayne service calls. Many of the postwar bungalows from the 1940s and 1950s in Fort Wayne’s SE quadrant of town have unusually large doors, many of them 9 feet wide or larger. Also, many of these older homes have springs that are not used on newer doors. That unusual hardware is not something every technician carries, so our trucks stock it. Newer subdivisions off of Dupont Road are equipped with steel insulated doors that will typically last longer than wood doors. Their openers tend to fail first, and that is where most garage door company Fort Wayne calls from those areas start.

No. A wound torsion spring holds a large amount of stored energy which can cause serious harm if it were to release suddenly. Winding bars and precise tension measurement are required for this kind of work, and those are not tools or skills that most homeowners have on hand. This work is best left to a trained technician with the correct tools for the job. This is not DIY.
When there are two springs on a door, we usually recommend replacing both springs at the same time. The good spring has been exposed to the same number of cycles as the failed spring, and the same weathering. Replacing a single failed spring will often result in the other spring failing within a season, requiring a second service call to replace.
Once a year suits most home doors. The service visit covers door balance, spring tension, rollers, hinges and seals, plus a safety reversal test to check the door stops and reverses as it should. Some very active doors are checked more frequently, typically those that are opened and closed eight to ten times a day.
