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.

Why Professional Opener Repair Is Important for Property Owners in Westminster
Garage door openers are deceptively complex. Behind a simple wall button or remote sits a motor, gearbox, logic board, travel limit settings, force calibration, safety sensors, and a drive system that all need to work in sync under load. A misdiagnosed repair often masks the real problem and leads to a repeat failure within weeks.
A trained technician traces the issue through the full electrical and mechanical chain, not just the part that looks broken. That means checking voltage to the unit, inspecting the gear assembly, testing the safety eyes, verifying remote frequency, and confirming the opener is properly matched to the weight and balance of the door it serves.
Westminster’s semi-arid climate and Front Range temperature swings add their own stress, freezing connections in winter and drying out lubricants in summer. Professional repair work accounts for these conditions, so your opener actually holds up between service visits.

This is almost always a safety sensor problem. The two photo eyes near the floor must “see” each other for the door to close, and a blocked, misaligned, or wired-out 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 a no-warning 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 is plenty. Heavier wood doors, oversized doors wider than 14 feet, and high-cycle households or commercial properties 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 healthy, a new opener installs cleanly onto the existing setup.
Yes. Cold thickens lubricant, makes steel parts more brittle, and can slow screw-drive openers in particular. Annual service before winter, with cold-weather grease and a sensor check, helps your opener cycle smoothly through Westminster’s freeze-thaw 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 programmed to the new system.
For garages that sit beneath bedrooms or living spaces, yes. Belt-drive openers are significantly quieter and have closed much of the durability gap with chain drives. For detached garages or very heavy doors, chain drives are still a strong 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 mechanically stuck on a broken spring or off-track roller. A technician can isolate the cause in a single diagnostic visit.
