What causes sensor issues in garage doors?

Garage door sensor problems can stem from several causes: 1) Misalignment - sensors can be knocked out of position by objects, pets, or accidental contact; 2) Dirty lenses - dust, cobwebs, or debris blocking the infrared beam; 3) Wiring issues - damaged, frayed, or disconnected wires from the sensors to the opener; 4) Sun interference - direct sunlight can sometimes interfere with sensor operation; 5) Failed sensors - like any electronic component, sensors can wear out over 8-12 years; 6) Power issues - electrical surges or power outages can damage sensors. Our technicians will diagnose the exact cause and provide the most cost-effective solution.

We work with all major brands and can help you choose the perfect door for your home's style and your budget.

How long does a garage door installation take?

A standard single garage door installation typically takes 3-4 hours, while a double door installation takes 4-5 hours. This includes removing your old door, installing the new door and hardware, setting up the opener, programming remotes, and thorough safety testing. Custom installations or complex situations may take longer. We'll provide a time estimate during your free consultation.

Do you offer warranties on your work?

Absolutely! We stand behind our work with a comprehensive 1-Year Warranty on all labor and installation. Additionally, manufacturer warranties on parts and doors typically range from 1-lifetime depending on the product. If you experience any issues with our workmanship within the warranty period, we'll return to fix it at no charge.

What should I do if my garage door won't open?

First, check if the opener is plugged in and the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. Try the wall button to see if it's a remote issue. Look for blinking lights on the opener - this often indicates a sensor problem. If the door moves partially, you may have a broken spring (you'll hear a loud bang when it breaks). For safety, don't attempt to force the door. Call us at (440) 389-3074 for emergency service - we're available 24/7 and can usually arrive within 30 minutes.

How often should I have my garage door serviced?

We recommend annual maintenance to keep your garage door operating safely and extend its lifespan. Regular maintenance includes lubricating moving parts, checking spring tension, testing safety features, tightening hardware, and inspecting cables and rollers. This preventive care can save you money by catching small issues before they become expensive repairs.

Garage Door Repair & Installation in Strongsville, OH

Cleveland homeowners know that a garage door problem never happens at a convenient time. Whether you're in Old Brooklyn, Tremont, or any Cleveland neighborhood, Strongsville Garage Doors is just 5.3 miles away in Strongsville, typically a 6 to 9 minute drive. We've been serving Cleveland's diverse housing stock for years, and we understand what your garage door faces in Northeast Ohio's demanding climate.

Cleveland's housing landscape ranges from historic century homes in neighborhoods like Ohio City to post-war ranch homes in areas like West Park and newer construction throughout the city. Each style presents unique garage door challenges. Older homes often have original garage door frames that need special attention during repairs, while newer builds typically use modern opener systems that require updated parts and expertise.

The weather here doesn't do garage doors any favors. Our lake-effect snow, freezing winters, and humid summers put constant stress on springs, cables, and opener mechanisms. Springs are particularly vulnerable because they cycle through extreme temperature swings. Most garage door springs last 7 to 9 years with normal use, but Cleveland's climate can shorten that lifespan if the door isn't properly maintained.
