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

Why does this keep happening in Vallejo? A lot of it comes down to the local climate. Coastal salt air and inland heat takes its toll — salt air corrodes hardware, and daily use wears rollers — so a opener runs but the door won't move is one of the more common calls our Vallejo crews run.
