Common causes in Denver
Stripped main gear
Plastic main gears strip after 8–12 years, especially on chain-drive units. Replacement gear kits cost a fraction of a new opener.
Misaligned safety sensors
The photo-eyes on either side of the door must point directly at each other. A bumped sensor or spider web is the most common 'opener stopped working' call we run.
Logic board or capacitor failure
Power surges from Colorado summer storms fry logic boards. If the opener is over 12 years old, replacement usually costs less than repair.
Worn remote or wall-button wiring
Rodent damage in unfinished garages chews the low-voltage wires. We re-run shielded wire in under an hour.

FAQ
Should I repair my old opener or replace it?
Under 10 years and a single failed part — repair. Over 12 years, no battery backup, or multiple failed parts — replace. California law now requires battery backup on new installs and Colorado is trending the same way.
Which opener brand lasts longest in Denver?
LiftMaster commercial-grade DC belt-drive units (8500W, 8550W) are the longest-lasting we install. Quiet, Wi-Fi, battery backup, lifetime motor warranty.
Will a new opener work with my old remotes?
Usually yes if both are the same brand and Security+ 2.0 protocol. We confirm before we order parts.
How long does a new opener install take?
2–3 hours for a standard single-car install, 3–4 hours for a double with hardwired keypad and Wi-Fi setup.
Do you handle MyQ and smart-home setup?
Yes — MyQ app, Google Home, Alexa, and Apple HomeKit (via Hub) are part of every smart-opener install at no extra charge.
