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

Why does this keep happening in McAllen? A lot of it comes down to the local climate. Heat and Gulf humidity takes its toll — humidity rusts springs & cables, and storm season batters doors — so a opener runs but the door won't move is one of the more common calls our McAllen crews run.
