Rockville Centre Garage Door Experts

Nearly 80 Years of Local Trust

Eidelberg Garage Doors has been serving Long Island homeowners since 1945. What started with Maurice Heidelberg has continued under Shai’s leadership since 2011, building a reputation based on one simple principle: customer satisfaction comes first.

Most of our work comes from referrals – neighbors telling neighbors about reliable service that actually shows up and gets the job done right. We’ve built our reputation in Rockville Centre’s close-knit community where word travels fast about who you can trust.

In a town where most residents own their homes and value quality workmanship, we understand you don’t want to deal with the same problem twice. That’s why we focus on lasting repairs, not quick fixes.

Garage Opener Repair Process

Straightforward Service, No Surprises

When you call, we’ll schedule a same-day appointment that works with your schedule. Our technician arrives with a fully stocked truck carrying the most common garage opener parts for immediate repairs.

First, we diagnose the actual problem – not just the symptoms. Sometimes what seems like an opener issue is actually a door balance problem or worn springs putting extra strain on the motor. We explain exactly what’s wrong and give you options before starting any work.

Most repairs are completed in a single visit. We test everything thoroughly before we leave to make sure your opener works smoothly and safely. You’ll know exactly what was fixed and how to keep it running properly.

Complete Garage Opener Solutions

Every Component, Every Brand

We repair all types of garage door openers: chain drive, belt drive, screw drive, and direct drive systems. Whether it’s a motor problem, sensor malfunction, remote control issue, or keypad failure, we handle the complete range of opener repairs.

Our service covers the most common problems Rockville Centre homeowners face: openers that won’t respond to remotes, doors that reverse before closing, motors that run but don’t move the door, and safety sensors that prevent normal operation. We also service wall switches, wiring issues, and opener accessories.

For Rockville Centre’s older homes with original garage doors, we understand the unique challenges of matching modern opener technology with existing door systems. Many homes built in the 1940s and 1950s need specific adjustments to work properly with today’s safety requirements and opener features.

How do I know if my garage opener can be repaired or needs replacement?

Most garage opener problems can be repaired rather than replaced, often saving you hundreds of dollars. We recommend repair when the motor runs but doesn’t move the door, when remotes or keypads stop working, or when safety sensors malfunction. Replacement makes sense if your opener was manufactured before 1993 (doesn’t meet current safety standards), if the motor housing is cracked, or if you’ve had multiple expensive repairs in recent years. We’ll always give you honest advice about which option makes the most financial sense. During our diagnostic visit, we’ll test all components and explain exactly what’s wrong. You’ll know the repair cost upfront before any work begins, so you can make an informed decision about repair versus replacement.

Why does my garage door opener work sometimes but not others?

Intermittent opener problems usually indicate electrical issues, worn components, or door balance problems. The most common causes are loose wiring connections, dirty safety sensor lenses, or springs that aren’t properly supporting the door’s weight. Temperature changes can also affect opener performance. Cold weather makes metal components contract, potentially causing alignment issues with sensors or tracks. Hot weather can cause electrical connections to expand and lose contact. We diagnose intermittent problems by testing all electrical connections, checking sensor alignment, and performing a door balance test. Most of these issues are straightforward repairs that prevent more expensive problems down the road.

How long should a garage door opener repair take?

Most garage opener repairs are completed in 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the problem. Simple fixes like sensor alignment, remote programming, or switch replacement typically take 30 minutes or less. Motor repairs, gear replacement, or wiring issues might take 60 to 90 minutes. We carry the most common parts on our truck, so we can complete most repairs in a single visit without waiting for special orders. If we discover additional problems during the repair – like door balance issues that are causing opener strain – we’ll explain what’s needed and give you the option to address everything at once or schedule a follow-up visit.

What's included in your garage opener repair service?

Every garage opener repair includes complete diagnosis of the problem, not just the obvious symptoms. We test the motor, check all electrical connections, verify sensor alignment, and examine how the opener interacts with your door system. The repair includes all necessary parts and labor to fix the identified problem. We also perform safety tests to ensure your opener meets current standards and operates safely for your family. Before we leave, we’ll show you how to use any features you might not know about, like manual disconnect for power outages, and explain basic maintenance that keeps your opener running smoothly between service calls.

Do you service all garage door opener brands and types?

Yes, we service all major garage door opener brands including LiftMaster, Genie, Craftsman, Chamberlain, and others. Our technicians are experienced with chain drive, belt drive, screw drive, and direct drive systems. We also work with older opener models that other companies might not service. Many Rockville Centre homes have openers installed 10-20 years ago that still have plenty of life left with proper repairs and maintenance. Our truck carries parts for the most common opener brands and models. For unusual or very old systems, we can usually source parts within 24 hours and return to complete the repair quickly.

What should I do if my garage door opener stops working completely?

First, check if the opener is getting power – look for lights on the motor unit or try the wall switch. If there’s no power, check your circuit breaker. If the power is on but nothing happens, don’t keep pressing the remote button as this can damage the system further. Try the manual disconnect cord (usually a red handle hanging from the opener) to operate the door manually, but be careful – garage doors are heavy and can cause injury if not handled properly. Call us for same-day service rather than attempting repairs yourself. Garage openers have high-voltage components and precision adjustments that require proper tools and experience. We can usually get you back up and running the same day you call.
