Garage Doors FAQs for Palm Beach County homeowners
Why does my garage door reverse before it closes?
Most often the photo-eye sensors are misaligned or dirty, which is common with blown sand and debris here. Sensor alignment is a quick check.
Do you replace torsion springs?
Spring replacement is a specialty garage door scope. We will tell you directly when your repair falls into that category rather than attempting it.
Can you install a smart opener?
Yes. Opener replacement including app-connected models is available, along with remote and keypad setup.
How often should a garage door be serviced in a coastal home?
Coastal salt air makes periodic lubrication and hardware inspection worthwhile. We will tell you what your specific door and hardware condition suggests.
