Veteran-owned and BBB A+ accredited, our certified technicians find the actual source of the failure rather than treating just the surface symptom, and most repairs are completed the same day we arrive.

Had a garage door put in in February it broke down in August. But they came and fixed it up all nice now it works great and they didn’t charge me for the repair service. So I think they did great on the fixer upper. And I would recommend them for garage door services they were nice and super professional about the whole thing. They let me know they stand by there products which is always a good motto to have and fixed me up nicely

I scheduled an appointment for an estimate. They were able to install right then. It didn’t take long and they cleaned everything up after themselves. The install went very well and they were meticulous about where the wires were placed coming out of the ceiling and kept it organized. The door opener is very quiet which is really nice.

I am so glad I called Select Garage doors. My spring broke on my garage door and locked me out of access to my house. They responded same day and were fast and efficient making sure we were aware of all things needed to keep the garage working. Technician was super informative and friendly as well. 100% recommend.

I called on a Saturday because my garage opener stopped working. Shaun came out the same day. Provided an estimate and he was back Sunday morning to replace it. Highly recommend!
Eric Peck
I had a very noisy garage door repair issue that was waking up my kids every morning. The technician replaced the rollers and checked the Genie opener repair needs. It’s now whisper-quiet! I am so happy with the price and the same-day garage door service.

I’m absolutely thrilled with the service I received from Select Garage Doors! They installed a new garage door opener for me and were fantastic. On time, efficient, and explained everything thoroughly. Great price too, highly recommend!

Why Morrison Opener Problems Rarely Fix Themselves
Garage door openers are more complex than they appear. Behind a wall button or remote lies a motor, gearbox, logic board, travel limit settings, force calibration, safety sensors, and a drive system that all have to work together under load. A repair that only addresses the most visible symptom often leaves the root cause untouched, and a repeat failure follows shortly after.
A trained technician works through the full electrical and mechanical chain to find what is actually wrong. That means checking voltage to the unit, inspecting the gear assembly, testing the safety sensors, verifying remote frequency, and confirming the opener is correctly matched to the weight and balance of the door it is driving.
Morrison sits at the edge of the foothills where elevation, dry mountain air, and wide seasonal temperature shifts put real stress on mechanical components. Cold weather tightens connections and thickens lubricants. Summer heat dries everything out. Professional repair accounts for these local conditions so the opener holds up reliably between service visits.

About Morrison, CO
Morrison is a statutory town in Jefferson County, Colorado, situated at the mouth of Bear Creek Canyon along the Front Range foothills, approximately 15 miles west of downtown Denver. The town traces its roots to the early 1870s and was officially incorporated as a municipality in 1906. With a population of 428 at the 2020 Census, it is one of the smallest incorporated towns in Jefferson County. Sitting at an elevation of roughly 5,762 feet, Morrison is best known as the gateway to Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre, one of the most iconic outdoor venues in the country, and its canyon setting gives it a character entirely distinct from the suburban communities to the east.
Things to Do in Morrison
- Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre: One of the most iconic outdoor music venues in the world, set into natural red sandstone formations roughly 300 million years old. The park is open year-round for hiking and fitness, and the amphitheater hosts concerts throughout spring and summer.
- Dinosaur Ridge: A National Natural Landmark along the Morrison hogback just east of town, where visitors can see exposed dinosaur bones in the rock face and trackways left by dinosaurs roughly 100 million years ago. Significant Late Jurassic fossil finds, including early Stegosaurus specimens, were documented near this site in 1877.
- Morrison Natural History Museum: A small museum in downtown Morrison dedicated to the paleontological heritage of the area, featuring hands-on exhibits, dinosaur tracks, and educational programs tied to the fossils found in the local rock beds.
- Mount Falcon Park: A Jefferson County Open Space park with trails ranging from easy walks to more demanding climbs, offering views of Denver, the Continental Divide, and the stone ruins of an early 20th-century estate once envisioned as a mountain retreat for U.S. presidents.
- Bear Creek Canyon Park: A Jefferson County park running along CO-8 west of Morrison, featuring trails, wildlife habitat, and quiet creek access in a less-visited setting than the Red Rocks corridor.

- Named for an Early Settler: The town takes its name from its founder, whose family left a lasting mark on the area, including his son Thomas Cowan Morrison, who served as the town’s first mayor after incorporation in 1906.

This is almost always a safety sensor problem. The two photo eyes near the floor must be aligned and unobstructed for the door to close, and a blocked, misaligned, or faulty sensor will trigger a reversal every time. A quick wipe of the lenses and a re-alignment usually solves it. Persistent issues point to wiring damage or a failed sensor head.
Once a year is the industry standard, even for openers that seem to be running fine. An annual visit catches drive wear, drift in force and travel settings, sensor misalignment, and gear fatigue before they cause an unexpected failure.
Drive type sets the baseline. Chain drives are the loudest by design, belt drives are noticeably quieter, and jackshaft or direct-drive units run nearly silent. If a previously quiet opener has started rattling, grinding, or popping, that change in sound usually means a worn part needs attention.
For most single-car and double-car residential doors made of steel or aluminum, a 1/2 HP opener handles the job well. Heavier wood doors, oversized doors wider than 14 feet, and high-cycle households call for 3/4 HP or higher to avoid premature motor wear.
Yes. Federal law has required photo-eye entrapment sensors on all residential garage door openers manufactured after January 1, 1993, as part of the UL 325 safety standard. The sensors must be mounted no higher than six inches above the floor.
No. The opener and the door are separate systems. As long as the door panels, springs, and tracks are in good condition, a new opener installs cleanly onto the existing setup without any need to replace the door itself.
Yes. The elevation, dry air, and cold winters Morrison experiences put extra stress on opener components compared to lower-elevation areas. Cold thickens lubricant and makes metal components more brittle, while the dry air accelerates wear on plastic gears and drive components. Scheduling a service visit before winter with cold-weather grease and a full sensor check helps your opener cycle reliably through the harshest months.
Usually not. Modern openers use rolling-code security that older fixed-code remotes from the 1990s and early 2000s cannot match. New openers come with current-generation remotes, and most also accept universal keypads that can be programmed to the new system.
For garages attached beneath bedrooms or living spaces, yes. Belt-drive openers are significantly quieter and have closed much of the durability gap with chain drives over the years. For detached garages or doors on the heavier side, chain drives remain a solid and dependable choice.
A clicking sound with no movement usually points to a failed start capacitor, a stripped main gear, a broken drive connection, or a door that is mechanically stuck due to a broken spring or off-track roller. A technician can isolate the exact cause in a single diagnostic visit.
