Test your garage door’s balance twice a year. Pull the release cord to disconnect the opener, then lift the door halfway by hand. A healthy door holds its place. If it slides down or springs up, the spring tension is off and your opener is straining to cover for it. Call (323) 282-5672 before it turns into a bigger repair.
If your door reverses right before it closes, check the two safety sensors near the floor. LA dust films the lenses and a bumped bracket throws them out of line, so the door reads an obstacle that isn’t there. Wipe both lenses clean and confirm the indicator lights glow steady before you blame the opener.
