Our Service Guarantees
When you book a job with OnPoint Pro Doors, you are protected by written guarantees on parts, labor, and arrival timing. We do not hide behind asterisks or fine print, and we do not change the price between the quote and the invoice.
- 1-year parts and labor warranty on standard springs. If a torsion or extension spring we install fails inside 12 months, we replace it free including the call-out.
- 3-year warranty on high-cycle springs (25,000-cycle rated). For homeowners who use the door 4+ times a day, we recommend high-cycle springs because the standard 10,000-cycle units fatigue faster. The high-cycle warranty matches.
- 5-year motor warranty on LiftMaster openers. LiftMaster's factory motor warranty is the strongest in the industry — we honor the full term and handle any motor-related claim ourselves.
- 1-year full-system warranty on new openers we install. Including motor, rail, trolley, sensors, remotes, wall console, and labor.
- 90-day repair labor warranty. If the same issue recurs inside 90 days, we come back free, no diagnostic fee.
- On-time arrival guarantee. If we miss our 2-hour scheduled window without advance notice, the diagnostic fee is waived.
When to DIY and When to Call a Pro
We tell every customer the truth: there are some things you can absolutely DIY, and some things you should never touch. Here's the honest breakdown:
SAFE TO DIY:
- Replacing remote batteries (9V or AA, depending on model)
- Cleaning and dusting photo-eye lenses
- Tightening bolts on hinges and brackets if visible (use a 7/16" socket; do not over-tighten)
- Lubricating tracks, hinges, and rollers with white lithium grease (NEVER WD-40 — it's a solvent and washes lubricant out)
- Reprogramming HomeLink in your vehicle
- Resetting the opener via wall-console reset button
NEVER DIY:
- Spring replacement — the springs hold 800-1,500 lbs of stored energy and have killed DIYers
- Cable replacement — same stored-energy issue, plus precise tension calibration
- Track adjustment when off-track — door will fall
- Opener motor or logic board work — voltage hazard plus calibration issues
- Anything involving disconnecting the spring stack
If you've already started a DIY repair and the door is now in a worse state, we don't lecture — we just fix it. The "you started it" surcharge does not exist on our invoices.

Garage Door Safety — UL 325 Standard and Why It Matters
Federal UL 325 is the safety standard governing residential garage door openers. It exists because in the early 1990s, multiple children died in garage door accidents — doors closing on small bodies, doors falling because of broken safety systems. Every modern opener is required to meet UL 325, and we test compliance on every single job:
- Photo-eye reverse. The two photo-eye sensors near the floor must reverse the door if their beam is broken during closing. We test by walking through the beam path during a closing cycle. If it doesn't reverse instantly, we troubleshoot.
- Contact reverse. The door must reverse on physical contact with an obstacle. We test by placing a 2x4 block flat on the ground in the door path. The door must reverse upward within 2 seconds of contact.
- Force calibration. The opener's down-force setting controls how much resistance triggers a reverse. Set too high, the door can crush an obstacle before reversing. We calibrate per UL 325 using a force gauge.
- Manual release reachable. The red emergency-release cord must be accessible from inside the garage and rated to allow manual disengagement during a power outage.
If your door fails any of these tests, we don't leave until it's fixed — even if you didn't call us about safety. This is non-negotiable. Most "won't close" calls actually trace to a photo-eye misalignment which is a safety system catching a real problem; bypassing it is illegal under UL 325.
