Openers
When the Port St. Joe opener hums or clicks and the door does not move
An opener is a motor on the ceiling that drives a trolley along a rail, and the trolley pulls the door by an arm fixed to the top section.
Trolley moves, door does not
The trolley has come loose from the door, which happens when the release cord is pulled. It is reconnected, and if the door will not move because a spring has broken, the spring is replaced.
A click with no motor
The board or relay that switches the motor on has failed, or the motor itself has. The part is replaced, or the opener is.
Starts, then stops short
The opener travel settings are off, or the door is binding in its track and the opener stops to protect itself. The settings are reset or the door is repaired.
Repair or replace
Repairing the opener or replacing it
The quote names one route: a repair to the opener you have, or a new opener.
Replaced, not repaired
A motor that has burned out, a rail that has bent, or an opener that has failed in more than one place is replaced.
Your choice
If you already want a new opener, for a new door or any other reason, say so and it is quoted that way.
Opener scope
What an opener job depends on
A balanced door
An opener is made to move a door that its springs are holding up.
Power at the ceiling
The opener plugs into an outlet near where it hangs.
The rail length
The rail runs from above the door back along the ceiling. A taller door needs a longer rail, so give the door height.
A noisy opener
An opener that has grown loud may have a loose chain slapping the rail, a worn sprocket or gear, or a mounting that has worked loose from the ceiling. Tell us whether the noise comes from the motor unit, from along the rail, or from the door itself, since the door has its own noises from rollers and hinges that are repaired at the door.
New doors
A new door fitted to the opening
The opening
The width between the jambs and the height from the floor to the header.
The space around it
Headroom above the opening for the spring and the curve of the track, wall on each side for the upright track, and depth back into the garage for the ceiling track and the opener.
Door and opener together
A new opener can be installed with the door on the same job, or the door can go in first and the opener later.
For builders
Booking the door for a new Port St. Joe house
A builder or an owner-builder can book the door and opener for a house under construction.
Site and contact
The site address and a contact who will be on site.
Opening size
The opening width and height from the plans or the frame.
Ceiling height
The height of the garage ceiling, which sets the track and the opener rail.
Opener and outlet
Whether an opener is wanted, and where its outlet will be.
Finish date
The date the opening will be framed and finished.
Door repairs
Repairs to the door itself
Cables, rollers and hinges
Frayed cables, grinding rollers and cracked hinges are replaced.
Tracks
Bent track is replaced, and a door off its track is set back in.
Sensors
When the opener sends the door back up
Sensors out of line
The two sensors near the floor on each side of the opening have to face each other. A knocked sensor is realigned.
A failed sensor or wire
A sensor that has stopped working, or a broken wire back to the opener, keeps the door from closing. The part is replaced.
Commercial doors in Port St. Joe
Shops and other business buildings in Port St. Joe get the same service as houses, on doors built larger. Roll-up doors with bent slats or tired barrel springs, commercial sectional doors with worn rollers or broken springs, and the openers or chains that raise them are all repaired. A commercial door past repair is measured and quoted new.
