Which motor size should I be using?
The answer to this question typically depends on the construction and size of your garage door. A lot of residential garage door openers come with 1/2, 1/3 or ¾ horsepower motors. A 1/3 hp motor is the most recommended by specialists at Garage Door Repair Mission Viejo. However, more powerful ones may be needed depending on the garage door type.
Why does my garage door make popping sounds when moving?
These strange sounds are usually produced when the garage door rollers have become very worn-out. In such cases, our experts in garage door repair Mission Viejo recommend their timely replacement. You can consider replacing the old metal rollers with new nylon ones, which are much quieter and more durable as well.
