Automatic Garage Door Opener Repair & Installation

garage door opener repair, replacement and installation

Are you in need of a new automatic garage door opener? Maybe you’ve noticed your current garage door opener is having a hard time opening and closing the door at normal speeds. Maybe the garage door opener keeps running after the door is fully opened or closed. Or maybe the garage door opener’s motor is abnormally loud. Here are some telltale signs that your automatic garage door opener needs to be repaired or replaced:

  • Grinding noise while opening and closing the door
  • A turning motor but no garage door movement
  • Garage door doesn’t open fully or close
  • The chain or cable is hanging low or off the rail/track
  • The garage door opens, closes or reverses for no reason
  • The garage door opener unit vibrates/shakes when in use

If your garage door opener is showing any of these symptoms, it’s a good idea to give us a call to come out and diagnose the issue sooner rather than later. If you wait until the opener stops working, you risk getting your car stuck in or out of your garage.

We Don’t Always Have to Replace Your Garage Door Opener

Another reason to give us a call when your automatic opener starts calling for help is that we may not need to replace it at all. The unit has an array of internal parts and can often be fixed with a simple part replacement or repair. Fixing a garage door opener saves you money, as opposed to installing and programming an entirely new garage door opener.

SACS GARAGE DOOR REPAIR is always ready to provide our customers with garage door maintenance, repair and replacement help, and that includes all major brands and types of garage door openers. We always work hard to save our customers money; if we can figure out a way to salvage your broken garage door opener or its parts, we will!

Give us a call anytime or submit a Quick Estimate form and we’ll come out to provide a free consultation anywhere in the Sacramento area.

Thinking About Replacing Your Garage Door Opener Anyway?

Switching out an old automatic garage door opener for a new one isn’t a bad idea. New garage door openers have “smart” features such apps that make it possible to operate and monitor your garage door anywhere with your smartphone, upgraded security features, and emergency battery backups.

How many times have you left the house and thought “Did I close the garage door?” With a “smart” garage door opener, you’ll be left to wonder again. Smart garage door openers are great for peace-of-mind, they enhance your home’s security and make your life easier. 

Other advantages of updating your garage door opener are:

  • Quieter operation
  • Protection from hacking/pirating the door opener remote’s signal
  • Ability to integrate with other automatic access features of your home security

If a new smart garage door opener is something you’re thinking about, we strongly recommend it, and can install and program it for you. 

Your Garage Door Opener Needs a Battery Backup

When deciding the future of your automatic opener, you must take a battery backup into account. If you have an older garage door opener, it likely doesn’t have a battery backup. Battery packs for garage doors are now mandated in the State of California after SB 969 went into effect in 2019. A battery unit provides 24 hours of opener operation in case of power outages, which commonly precede emergency evacuations for wildfires.

A garage door battery backup isn’t just good to have in life-or-death emergencies, though. Regular power outages can throw your day off, too, and a standalone power unit for your garage door opener can ensure your car isn’t stuck in or out of your garage, emergency or not. And the good news is that, should your opener be reparable, we can simply add a battery backup unit to the existing opener until you need to replace the opener itself.

Whether you need your current garage door opener diagnosed and repaired or want to install a brand new garage door opener, we can usually be at your residence or business the same day you call. So contact us, we’re happy to help!

We’re also available 24/7 for broken garage door emergencies in Sacramento, including Folsom and Rocklin.
