When the opener runs but the door won't move in Allen, the trolley, gear, or a disconnected door is usually the cause. Most are same-day repairs.

A opener runs but the door won't move rarely happens in a vacuum. Allen's wild temperature swings and hail wears doors down — high wind & grit wear tracks — and we get a clear run of these calls every spring hailstorm. A local pro fixes the underlying cause and backs it with a one-year warranty.
