A garage door that opens slowly in Fort Wayne is often dry rollers, a weak opener, or a speed setting. A tune-up usually solves it.

Why does this keep happening in Fort Wayne? A lot of it comes down to the local climate. Freezing winters takes its toll — cold snaps brittle springs, and road salt corrodes hardware — so a garage door opens slowly is one of the more common calls our Fort Wayne crews run.

What might be wrong

Common causes when your garage door opens slowly

Here's what our local techs check first — and what each one usually means.

Dry or worn rollers and hinges
Friction from un-lubricated hardware drags the door down.
A speed/force setting
Some openers have an adjustable travel speed.
An aging opener motor
A worn motor slows over time.
How we fix it

Fixed fast by a local Fort Wayne pro
