Thirty-one years — that is how long the hardware on an unchanged door here has been at work, because 1995 is the year with as many Aliso Viejo homes older than it as newer. Nice to see you here. Time passed is all that figure is: the part that failed shows itself at the door, on the springs, drums and cables, not in a build year. So call us, and we will start there.

Identify what your door is doing before you call. If it is one of these, do not keep operating it.
Your torsion spring has snapped under intense torsional load. Forcing the opener to lift the door without spring assistance will burn out the motor or snap the drive belt.
A lift cable has slipped off the drum or a roller bearing has seized and popped out. Operating the door in this state can completely drop the heavy panels.
A stripped internal nylon drive gear or a blown starting capacitor. We carry complete carriage gear rebuild kits in our trucks to repair your system immediately.
Don't let a snapped spring, snapped cable, ripped weather seal, or a defective remote keep you locked inside. Our expert teams carry fully stocked dispatch trucks. We regularly perform comprehensive garage door maintenance (inspection, lubrication, adjustment, and component testing) to keep your system safe. We serve Aliso Viejo and the cities around it.
Something in the garage quit, and you want a straight answer.
A garage door that gets most of the way down, touches something and lifts straight back up has usually not broken. That is the opener obeying a rule, and the rule reports only that the door met something — never what.
Openers manufactured from 1 January 1991 have to work that way. The requirement adopted that year is written around a two-inch test object: a residential operator has to reverse inside two seconds of contacting one, and has to send the door up again if the down limit has not been reached thirty seconds after the button. Both halves describe the trip down, and neither can tell a paint tin from a bad roller.
Which leaves two places to look, nowhere near one another. In front of the door: something standing on the line it lands on — and if your garage stopped being where the car goes a while back, that strip of floor is the one nothing obliges you to keep clear. Or the door dragging somewhere in its own travel — a roller binding in the curve, a track pinched at a bolt, a cable off its drum, a counterbalance no longer holding what it was wound to hold. The second sort will do it again tomorrow over bare concrete.
Aliso Viejo's build record is unusually willing to commit, and it commits to the wrong thing. 10,382 of the city's 20,370 homes were finished in the 1990s — 6,435 clear of the 3,947 the 1980s left, against a margin of 800 on that gap — and only 5.4% of everything counted predates 1980. None of that says which of the two your door is calling from. That gets settled under it, with the door run and the resistance located, and that half is ours.
