Opener Problem or Door Problem?
An opener can struggle when the door is heavy, binding, or out of balance. Springs, rollers, tracks, and cables should be considered along with the opener.
Repair or Replace the Opener?
The best choice depends on the fault, the condition of the existing unit, parts availability, and the condition of the full door system.
