Your garage door is doing something new this month, and not the kind you wanted. It helps us to know what on that door has been changed, and roughly when — an opener is set up for the door it meets on the day it goes in, and a door does not stay that door. If you know any of its history, keep it handy. Hello, El Dorado Hills, and thanks for reading this far.

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 El Dorado Hills and the cities around it.
The opener is the part of a garage door that nobody expects to last as long as the garage. When the Consumer Product Safety Commission wrote its 1992 rule on garage door operators, it gave an operator an average life expectancy of 15 years, and found that most of the operators then in use in the country had been made since 1982. Across the country, the machine on the ceiling comes and goes well inside the life of the door it drives.
So on plenty of garages the opener and the door were never fitted on the same day. Where the machine has been replaced, it went up over a door that was already some way into its working life — and the door kept its own springs, cables and rollers through the change.
That meeting point is where a visit here starts. An opener is adjusted to whatever door it is hung over, on the day of the install: how far it runs, and how hard it is allowed to push before it gives up. Those settings describe that door on that day, and the springs under it have gone on working since. So when a door that has had its opener changed starts stopping short, backing up off the floor or laboring on the way up, the question is not which half is newer but whether the two still agree. The door is taken off the machine and moved by hand, to feel what it weighs and where it binds, and the opener is judged against that door rather than against the one it was set up on.
Whatever gets changed on this visit becomes the older half of the next one. So it finishes the way it began: the door checked by hand first, and the machine set to the door as it stands that afternoon.

Replacing a door is a different job from swapping an opener, and whether either one needs a permit is theirs to say, so start with El Dorado County's Building Division page: that is where the current requirements and fees live.
