A garage door opener chain that came off in New Haven is usually a tension or worn-sprocket issue. We can re-seat and re-tension it the same day.

There's a local angle to a garage door chain came off in New Haven: the area's freezing winters is hard on garage doors — cold snaps brittle springs, and snow & ice jam tracks. Our New Haven techs see these failures spike around every January cold snap, so they track down the real cause instead of masking the symptom.

What might be wrong

A loose chain
Over time the chain stretches and slips off the sprocket.
A worn sprocket or gear
A worn drive sprocket lets the chain jump.
A jammed door putting strain on the chain
