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

A garage door opens slowly rarely happens in a vacuum. Madison's sub-zero cold wears doors down — freeze-thaw warps tracks — and we get a clear run of these calls every January cold snap. A local pro fixes the underlying cause and backs it with a one-year warranty.

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 Madison pro

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

Why call a pro?
