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

A opener runs but the door won't move rarely happens in a vacuum. Las Cruces's relentless 100°+ desert heat wears doors down — blowing dust clogs tracks — and we get a clear run of these calls every July heat wave. A local pro fixes the underlying cause and backs it with a one-year warranty.
