A garage door opener chain that came off in Escondido is usually a tension or worn-sprocket issue. We can re-seat and re-tension it the same day.

Why does this keep happening in Escondido? A lot of it comes down to the local climate. Coastal salt air and inland heat takes its toll — salt air corrodes hardware, and daily use wears rollers — so a garage door chain came off is one of the more common calls our Escondido crews run.
