Noisy garage door?

After years of use your rollers will let you know when its time to replace them

How will you know?

The door operation will become louder when opening and closing, you will hear the roller bearings starting to fail and start to sound like antique roller skates!

If this sounds familiar it can be a simple fix and you will be rolling again smooth and quiet.

Service call in Evanston

Customer called and said the door opens about one foot

LJM Garage Door Service set a service repair visit and quickly found the issue….

Broken spring on the left side above the door, after looking over the rest of the door we explained the replacement process and cost.

Here is the interesting part, after matching the existing springs on the door and installing them we tried to operate the door manually.

What the heck the door was heavy off the floor and super fast at full open???

After double checking the spring tension of new springs and double checking ourselves we couldn’t say “Good enough”

This door unfortunately operated for a period of ten years with the wrong springs, no big deal right?

Will you think the same thing when your operator grinds itself to dust costing you the customer another expensive repair bill?

Operator replacement!

This customers early-1990s operator started acting up and became increasingly unreliable. They were tired of the frustration and wanted something they could depend on every day.

LiftMaster’s 2220L 3/4 HP DC chain-drive smart garage door opener featuring an integrated wide-angle camera and MyQ connectivity was used for this application in a detached garage.

And yes… THERE’S A CAMERA BUILT RIGHT INTO IT!

With myQ, they can:

✅ Open & close the garage from their phone
✅ Check the door status remotely
✅ View the garage with the built-in camera

Convenience, security, and peace of mind — all in one opener

DOOR SERVICE CALL SPOTLIGHT

Issue: Garage door would not open — possible broken spring.

LJM Garage Door Service responded quickly and got to work diagnosing the problem. After a complete inspection, we found both torsion springs had broken, leaving the door inoperable.

After taking the necessary measurements, we installed two new 15,000-cycle torsion springs and got this customer rolling again.

But we didn’t stop there. During our inspection, we also found:

- A worn cable that needed replacement
-Clopay plastic rollers that were ready for an upgrade

We replaced the cable and upgraded the rollers to nylon rollers with ball bearings for smoother, quieter operation and improved performance.

At LJM Garage Door Service, we believe a service call is about more than simply getting the door open. We inspect the entire system, identify potential problems, explain our recommendations, and make sure the work is done correctly.

Need garage door service? Don’t wait until a small problem becomes a bigger one.

📞We have been trying to reach you for the extended warranty package!

All joking aside, which warranty would you prefer for a new garage door installation at your home?

One year from date of installation or three year?

Unfortunately a one year can leave you on the hook for a service repair bill not long after the original replacement cost

At LJM Garage Door Service we provide a three year warranty on all new door installations. If an issue happens we will schedule a service appointment and get you rolling again

When choosing a garage door contractor, don’t just compare prices. Know your contractor. Ask questions. Understand the warranty. Know who will be there if something goes wrong

You pushed the button and the garage door only opens one foot!

Never a fun experience but not uncommon, torsion springs are engineered with a standard cycle life of 10,000. If there is a gap between the coils on your spring? Try to leave the door closed and call LJM Garage Door Service to get rolling again.

After arriving at this service call we quickly found the broken spring, we also addressed the improper existing bolt hardware causing damage to the cable. Improper installations cause door failures down the line, why would they care? Good enough attitude will add up in “out of warranty” repairs in the future the homeowner.
