Garage Door Opener Repair in Coquitlam

Westwood Plateau was largely built in the 1990s, and many of those homes still run the opener that came with the house. After that many years, the plastic drive gear is often worn, the logic board may be failing and the safety sensors may be faded or loose.

A gear kit or sensor replacement is usually worth doing. If the board or motor has gone, we'll price the repair against a new opener so you can decide. Any opener built before 1993 lacks safety reversing sensors and should be replaced rather than repaired.

Burke Mountain and Westwood Plateau sit well above sea level. They get cooler nights, more rain and occasional snow. On a cold morning the door moves slowly, the opener strains, and sometimes it gives up halfway. Snow and ice at the bottom can freeze the seal to the floor.

If the door is frozen down, stop pressing the button and let it free up. If it still won't lift, a spring may have snapped in the cold. Higher neighbourhoods see more spring breaks in cold snaps, and an opener can't lift a door with a broken spring.

Hillside lots often mean a garage floor that slopes. The door touches down on one side first and doesn't seal evenly, and the opener can read that as something in the way. You see a door that reverses, stops short or leaves a gap.

We reset the travel limits and close force for the floor you have and realign the sensors. On off-track doors we fix the track first. In new Burke Mountain townhouses, the strata usually controls exterior changes, so repairs to the existing opener are the simplest path.
