A garage door that opens slowly in Sandy is often dry rollers, a weak opener, or a speed setting. A tune-up usually solves it.

Why does this keep happening in Sandy? A lot of it comes down to the local climate. Freezing cold and heavy snow takes its toll — cold snaps brittle springs, and high-altitude sun cracks seals — so a garage door opens slowly is one of the more common calls our Sandy crews run.

What might be wrong

Common causes when your garage door opens slowly

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

A speed/force setting
Some openers have an adjustable travel speed.
An aging opener motor
A worn motor slows over time.
How we fix it

Fixed fast by a local Sandy pro
