Our techs weigh the door to determine exact spring size and wire diameter for Ridgewood’s specific housing styles, perfectly adjusting coil tension.
The opener clicks on but the door just sits there, or it grinds partway and quits. Stripped gears, a dead logic board, or a photo eye out of position is usually what we find.

Ridgewood is located in the middle of Bergen County in northeastern New Jersey. It is frequently in the path of powerful nor’easters that travel up the coast from the northeast.
In winter for example the freeze-thaw cycle can occur as frequently as four to five times per week.

After a big storm has gone through, several days later, a homeowner in Ridgewood will begin to notice the damage that occurred to their garage door as they open and close it.
