Cold temperatures can thicken grease on the tracks, and frost heave can slightly shift the concrete floor or foundation, causing the safety sensors to misalign. This triggers the auto-reverse feature, making the door stop or reverse. Our technicians clean and lubricate the tracks, re-align sensors, and adjust the opener travel limits to fix the issue quickly.

If your gate drags on the ground or leaves a gap at the top, test the latch alignment. A gate that used to close flush but now sticks or scrapes is often a sign that frost heave has tilted a post. We measure post plumbness and check for rot at the base. If the post is solid but shifted, we can re-set it with a deeper concrete base to resist future movement.

Yes. This is often caused by a broken wire in the sensor circuit or a capacitor failure in the opener’s logic board, both common after several freeze-thaw cycles. We test the safety sensor signal, check the wiring for damage, and replace the affected component. In many cases we can restore function without replacing the whole unit.
