To you, assuming you are not a trained overhead door technician, and that you never needed to fix overhead doors, it may seem like the electric operator is what opening and closing your over the head door near Chatsworth 91311, but the truth is that every over the head garage door which isn’t working properly manually – Without the electric operator - should not be operated to open or close the overhead door with the operator.

Types of overhead door operators
