When the opener runs but the door won't move in Summerville, 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. Summerville's heat and humidity wears doors down — storms surge opener boards — and we get a clear run of these calls every summer storm. A local pro fixes the underlying cause and backs it with a one-year warranty.
