A garage door opener chain that came off in South Bend 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 South Bend? 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 South Bend crews run.

What might be wrong

Over time the chain stretches and slips off the sprocket.
