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

Why does this keep happening in Lawrence? A lot of it comes down to the local climate. Wild temperature swings and hail takes its toll — hail dents panels, and temp swings fatigue springs — so a garage door opens slowly is one of the more common calls our Lawrence crews run.

What might be wrong

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

A speed/force setting
Some openers have an adjustable travel speed.

How we fix it

Fixed fast by a local Lawrence pro
