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

Why does this keep happening in Savannah? A lot of it comes down to the local climate. Heat and humidity takes its toll — humidity corrodes hardware, and falling limbs dent panels — so a opener runs but the door won't move is one of the more common calls our Savannah crews run.

What might be wrong

Common causes when your opener runs but the door won't move

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

A stripped opener gear
A worn drive gear spins without moving the carriage.
A broken spring making the door too heavy

How we fix it

Fixed fast by a local Savannah pro

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