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

Why does this keep happening in Huntsville? 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 garage door opens slowly is one of the more common calls our Huntsville 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 Huntsville pro

We lubricate and replace worn rollers, adjust the settings, and check the opener so the door moves at full speed.
