HERES THE BASICS CAUSES (FORMAL)
Harness the sunlight, not the headaches. Even the most unassuming garage door hiccup often traces back to those pesky misaligned safety sensors hugging the base. They're the watchful eyes that shield objects, adored pets, and loved ones from being caught in the door's descent. But even the sun can be overbearing, especially during its dramatic entrances and exits, confusing these vigilant guardians into staying their ground, leaving your door ajar. A small nudge off their path and your garage door stands defiantly open—teasing safety but not quite delivering. Fear not the fix—it's mostly a matter of realigning star-crossed sensors. But be on guard for the shadowy tactics of less scrupulous repairers. They spin yarns of sensor woe to hawk high-cost fixes you'll rarely need, like swapping out chugging motors. Heed the International Door Association's warnings and steer clear of such dark artifices. Our venerated Garage Door Repair and Installation Company is the beacon of honesty you've been seeking. We're the proud defenders of straightforward assessments and repairs that are nothing short of essential. No upselling antics here, just eight years of applause-worthy service.

THE SUN - 1 METHOD TO TEST - STEP BY STEP
Ensure that the outlet for operator has power. Check if: GFCI is tripped; a wall switch controls that outlet; the breaker tripped; or if the outlet is faulty. Once you have power, let’s proceed. Yes, sunlight can affect the photo eyes. To test, ensure the door can be manually opened and closed with ease (only detach when the door is in the closed position). By the way, you should perform this test every 6 months as part of your biannual MANUFACTRURE RECOMMENDED Lube-And-Tune-Up, (wink-wink). The trolley carriage is the small black, silver, or grey piece that moves back and forth inside, around, or underneath the 8 or 9-foot bar, track, or rail that extends from the motor/operator to the header above the closed door and along the spring line/shaft. Now, press the wall station once. Did the carriage move from one end to the other? If yes, press the wall station again. Did it move back? If yes, then your photo eyes aren't the issue. Unfortunately, it might be the operator or a mechanical problem with the door. If it only moved one way completely, or just an inch or two, or not at all, try this: press and hold the wall station button where the carriage struggles to move from. "Hold the button down." Did it travel all the way forward toward your neighbor’s house? If yes, it’s the photo eyes. Holding the button down bypasses the motor's safety, allowing the trolley to move forward. This can be handy at night, for example, when your dog chases Mr. Finkelstein’s cat out of your garage, and it's too dark to realign them. Remember that you are willfully by-passing the photo eye safety mechanism at your own risk. I do not accept any responsibility for the manufacturer's design.
Now, go to bed and fix it in the morning.
Sunlight - FORMAL VERSION
Sunlight, particularly during the early morning or late evening hours when the sun hangs low in the sky, possesses the ability to overwhelm these sensitive devices, rendering them ineffective in their primary function to facilitate communication and maintain the doorway in an open position. In order to counteract this issue, it is advisable to create a barrier that would guard the sensors against the direct impact of solar rays whilst simultaneously making use of your remote control. Furthermore, our commitment to providing exceptional value is demonstrated through our price matching guarantee, ensuring that you receive the most competitive rates. Coupled with that, we take great pride in offering a complimentary lube-and-tune service included with any service rendered, ensuring that your experience is not only cost-effective but also contributes to the optimal performance of your system.

Additionally, we have streamlined the customer experience with our user-friendly online reservation system, enabling you to book our services with ease and convenience at any time.
Off Track
Just like anyone, garage doors can also go off course. Unlike us, a derailed garage door can be hazardous. Garage doors have panels connected to hinges, and rollers on tracks, which are the metal guides on either side of the door going from the ground to the ceiling. If rollers come out of their track, your door won't close. Should this happen, do not use your garage door. Call us for a FREE ESTIMATE. Enjoy a 6-YEAR SPRING WARRANTY, 2-YEAR PARTS WARRANTY, ON-TIME SERVICE GUARANTEE, and a 15% DISCOUNT ON PARTS FOR REPAIRS for PD, FD, and seniors. Operating the door with a roller off its track might lead the door to fall off entirely, which is extremely dangerous. Get in touch with a professional immediately if you're having this issue. Don't try fixing it or stand under a displaced garage door as they're heavier than they look and could cause serious injury. If you're near Visalia or in Tulare County and need garage door assistance, please call us.
Broken Springs
Garage doors have springs designed to support the majority of the door's weight. However, all garage door springs eventually fail, limited by a specific number of cycles. Should a spring break while the garage door is open, the door's full weight falls on the rollers. We proud of our "Best of the Valley" deals so ill mention them again.. We offer a 6-YEAR SPRING WARRANTY, a 2-YEAR PARTS WARRANTY, and an ON-TIME GUARANTEE. A typical garage door, exceeding 100 pounds, may crash down with force if the spring fails, possibly causing the pulleys and cables to loosen or the door to veer off its track. When a spring breaks, the door may remain ajar. Avoid forcing the door shut if you suspect a broken spring; instead, immediately contact a licensed garage door specialist. Be aware, a garage door with a compromised spring poses significant danger. We provide a MILITARY-LIKE DETAILED 40+ POINT INSPECTION on every service visit, plus we have been VOTED BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE for 8 consecutive years. We MATCH OR BEAT PRICING and offer a complimentary LUBE-AND-TUNE-UP with every service call. 24/7 EMERGENCY SERVICE is also available, as well as ON-LINE BOOKING. Generally, the spring bears much of the garage door's weight. When it snaps, the door's full weight strains the rollers, track, hinges, and pulleys, risking a total collapse and potential further damage to your system.
Limit Screws
A limit screw is a small component that controls the opening and closing range of a garage door. If improperly configured or faulty, the door might fail to fully close. Minor tweaks can greatly alter the door's movement. Don't try to adjust the limit screw if other garage door parts might be malfunctioning. Receive a 15% discount on parts for PD, FD, and seniors, as well as a 15% discount on parts for veterans/military and their immediate families on every repair. We are detail-oriented, ensuring each service call includes a detailed 40+ point inspection.
Trolley
Trolley? The trolley carriage is the small black, silver, or gray piece that moves back and forth inside, around, or underneath the 8 or 9-foot bar, track, or rail extending from the motor/operator to the header above the closed door and along the spring line/shaft. Yes, we are indeed discussing garage doors. You are on the correct page to learn why your garage door may not be closing. Garage doors feature a part called a trolley, which some also refer to as a carriage. This trolley or carriage is moved along a rail by a belt, screw, or chain, depending on the garage door opener type you own. It is the object with a bright red or orange rope and handle that hangs from your garage door. The trolley should lock into a specific locking point on the chain or belt. If not attached to or unable to connect to this point, the motor won't move the garage door up or down. If you have questions about your garage door trolley/carriage, please give us a call.
Important Note
You can always pull the rope and handle attached to your trolley to open your garage door manually if your garage door motor has ceased working or your electricity has gone out. California now requires garage doors to have battery backup units. (SB969) In case your electricity goes out. However, it is still important to make sure you can open your garage door manually.
