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

A opener runs but the door won't move rarely happens in a vacuum. Orlando's heat and humidity wears doors down — storms surge opener boards — and we get a clear run of these calls every summer storm. A local pro fixes the underlying cause and backs it with a one-year warranty.

What might be wrong

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

A disengaged trolley

A stripped opener gear
A worn drive gear spins without moving the carriage.
A broken spring making the door too heavy
The opener runs but can't lift a door with no spring help.

We re-engage or replace the trolley and gear, check the springs, and confirm the door tracks with the opener again.
