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

Why does this keep happening in Caldwell? A lot of it comes down to the local climate. Freezing cold and heavy snow takes its toll — cold snaps brittle springs, and high-altitude sun cracks seals — so a opener runs but the door won't move is one of the more common calls our Caldwell crews run.
