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

Why does this keep happening in Huntington? A lot of it comes down to the local climate. Heat and humidity takes its toll — humidity corrodes hardware, and falling limbs dent panels — so a opener runs but the door won't move is one of the more common calls our Huntington crews run.
