Loud grinding noise when opening garage door

LiftMaster Opener Installation
"Old garage door opener finally gave out after 20 years, motor was completely dead. Called Instant Garage Doors (IGD) and Isaac came out the next morning to our place in Bellevue near Factoria. He recommended a LiftMaster belt drive with smart features and battery backup. Installed it same day, programmed all the remotes, set up the MyQ app on our phones. The difference in noise level is incredible, the old chain drive was loud enough to hear from the street. Very happy with the upgrade."Read full review →

Frequently Asked Questions - Kirkland
How fast can your technicians reach my home in Kirkland?
Our Greater Seattle team covers Kirkland every day. We typically offer prompt, same-day service. Emergency calls always get bumped to the front of the line.
Does the lake moisture really affect my garage door?
Yes. Homes near Lake Washington deal with constant humidity that rusts standard springs and corrodes cables from the inside out. That is why we upgrade our Kirkland customers to galvanized springs and rust-resistant hardware.
Do you install quiet garage door openers?
Absolutely. We specialize in ultra-quiet belt-drive smart openers. They are perfect for Kirkland homes where bedrooms sit right above the garage or neighbors are close by.
Can you install a modern glass garage door on my Kirkland home?
Yes. We carry a full range of modern aluminum and glass doors that look stunning on contemporary and waterfront homes. We handle everything from measurement to final installation.
Proudly providing expert garage door services to Kirkland and our neighbors in Bellevue, Redmond, and Seattle.
