When garage doors fail in Santa Fe
the peak of summer, July and August
Because sustained heat degrades opener electronics, plastic drive gears and rubber seals well before their rated life, and airborne dust settles on the photo-eye lenses.
What to do about it: Wipe the sensor lenses before calling anyone in summer. A door that reverses is more often dust than a fault.
Hiring a garage door company in Santa Fe
Ask any company for its licence or registration number, and whether the trip charge is credited against the repair when you go ahead. Both answers should come without hesitation, and the second one is worth $39 or so on a job this size.
