Because the torsion springs are losing tension or the rollers are worn. These springs lose about 9% of their strength every year, and Melrose’s freeze-thaw cycles speed up the wear. Replacing them before they snap prevents bigger damage and keeps your door quiet again.
Yes—humidity swells wooden doors and can warp tracks. A quick wipe-down of the tracks and a light coat of silicone spray usually frees it up. If it happens often, we’ll check the alignment and add weather stripping to keep moisture out.
Within 24 hours. A bent panel throws the whole system off balance and can snap a spring or damage the opener. We’ll swap the panel and realign the tracks so your door stays level through every season.
Only if you’re comfortable with basic tools and testing safety eyes. Most first-timers misalign them and create a hazard. We’ll adjust yours in under 15 minutes and show you how to spot future issues.
Look at the photo-eye sensors near the bottom tracks. Melrose’s bright sunlight can trick them into thinking there’s an obstacle. A quick wipe and realignment usually fixes it—no service call needed.
Every 3 months. Melrose’s salt-treated roads and cold snaps dry out hinges and tracks, so a light coat of lithium grease keeps everything moving smoothly and prevents rust.
The force setting is too sensitive or the tracks are dirty. Melrose’s dusty spring winds can clog sensors and fool the opener into thinking something’s in the way. We’ll reset the force and clean the sensors so it stops mid-cycle.
Place a 2x4 on the floor where the door closes. When the door hits it, the auto-reverse should kick in within 2 seconds. If it doesn’t, the sensors or opener need adjustment—call us before the next use.
