Belt-Drive Opener Repair: comparing quotes
Garage Doors · Mississauga, Ontario
The make and model printed on the motor head, roughly how old the operator is, what the belt is doing and what it sounds like, when it started, whether the red cord has been pulled and whether anyone has adjusted anything. A photograph along the rail showing the belt, and one of the label, settle most questions before the visit.
Age and model of the operator
Parts for a current model are on the van. An older or less common operator may need a belt or trolley ordered to fit, which changes timing and sometimes the part.
Rail straightening or re-hanging
A bent rail, a sagging hanger or a misaligned rail joint that has been fraying the belt is corrected as part of the repair so the new belt runs clean, and the labour appears on the quote.
Height of the ceiling
Where the operator hangs under a tall or vaulted ceiling, the sprocket and idler are reached from taller ladders and the work at the head takes longer.
