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

A garage door opens slowly 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.

Some openers have an adjustable travel speed.
An aging opener motor
A worn motor slows over time.
