When the opener runs but the door won't move in San Bernardino, 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. San Bernardino's coastal salt air and inland heat wears doors down — inland heat strains openers — and we get a clear run of these calls every late-summer heat wave. A local pro fixes the underlying cause and backs it with a one-year warranty.
