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

Why does this keep happening in Paterson? A lot of it comes down to the local climate. Freezing winters takes its toll — cold snaps brittle springs, and road salt corrodes hardware — so a garage door chain came off is one of the more common calls our Paterson crews run.

What might be wrong
