Serving the Phoenix Metro Valley
Garage door repair for Ahwatukee homes on the south side of South Mountain, from Open Sesame Garage Doors, family-owned since 1989.
Ahwatukee sits on the south side of South Mountain, with Tempe and Chandler along its eastern edge, and it is a part of Phoenix many of our customers call home. When a garage door there stops working, Open Sesame Garage Doors sends a licensed technician to find out why and fix it. We are a family-owned company and have been repairing and installing garage doors around the Phoenix Metro Valley since 1989.
Most calls come down to one of four things: a spring that has broken, an opener that hums but will not lift the door, a door that has slipped off its track, or a dented panel. If a spring is the issue, our page on spring replacement in Ahwatukee explains that job in more detail, and if the motor is to blame, see opener repair in Ahwatukee.
A few minutes of checking can save you a wasted afternoon, and a few things are best left alone.
Do look at the two safety sensors near the floor on each side of the door. If one has been knocked out of line or is covered in dust, the opener will refuse to close. Wipe the lenses and check that the small lights on both sensors are on.
Do try the wall button as well as the remote, replace the remote battery, and make sure the opener is plugged in and its breaker has not tripped.
Don't lift a door that has a broken spring, and don't keep pressing the button. The spring carries the weight of the door. Without it, the opener and your back take the full load.
Don't loosen the cables or the brackets at the bottom of the door. They are under high tension and should only be handled by a trained technician.
Doors in Ahwatukee deal with the same long, hot summers as the rest of the Valley, and doors that face south or west take the most sun. Heat dries out lubricant and weatherstripping, rollers wear faster, and springs work through thousands of cycles a year. Monsoon wind and dust push grit into the tracks. A yearly check catches most of this early, and our garage door maintenance plan includes two visits a year with a 35-point inspection each time.
Often it is. Springs, rollers, cables and openers can each be replaced on their own. If several sections are damaged or the door has been patched many times, we will say so honestly and can price a garage door replacement in Ahwatukee so you can compare the two.
