How We Fixed This Garage Door with Sensor Wire Tangled In the Door's Cables.

Project Overview & Location

When garage doors go off-track or cables become tangled, quick action is crucial to prevent further damage. Our client Kris in Rosemont, CA, reached out after noticing his garage door had come off the tracks. He also sent photos showing the cables were loosely wound around the drums.

We immediately scheduled a service call and arrived at his home promptly. Upon inspection, we discovered the issue was caused by the opener wire becoming entangled in the right drum, which led to the door failure.

This project highlights our responsiveness and technical expertise in Rosemont garage door repair.
