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

A garage door chain came off rarely happens in a vacuum. New Orleans's heat and Gulf humidity wears doors down — heat overworks openers — and we get a clear run of these calls every August heat wave. A local pro fixes the underlying cause and backs it with a one-year warranty.
