"They came the next day to install the new garage door opener (I bought it at Home Depot). The tech was super friendly, efficient, and honest. He didn't try to upsell me constantly. And it was way cheaper than I expected! I'd hire them again in a heartbeat."

"I called 3 referrals from Angie’s list. I called Easy Open Door Co., Inc. on a Monday morning and Sherry set up appointment for Randy to come out on Wednesday for measurements & quote. Randy was prompt, professional, gave me the facts without pushing products; answered my questions and left me with brochures and a quote for the choices I made. I called Friday of the same week and the door and garage door opener were installed the following Thursday by Devin, who was also very nice and professional; worked quickly and cleaned up and hauled away the old wood and door. The bottom sides and trim around the door needed to be replaced. So Randy came back and replaced the wood while Devin was preparing the installation. Because Randy could not find matching trim, he routed the pattern in the trim himself so it would match the existing trim which was from when the house was built in the 50’s. I need to paint it myself, but that’s not an issue. I think Randy went above and beyond to make sure the trim matched. I also spoke with Michele who called the day before as a reminder for the installation. Very pleased with this company and the people I dealt with. I will definitely recommend this company to anyone needing a new garage door or if a new garage door opener is needed. They will also service the door and replace the battery back up as needed on the garage door opener. As for the other two referrals I called, the first one I called was rude on the phone and the person they said would call me back never did and the 2nd number I called quoted high on the phone, came out the day after Randy was here, so I already knew how the process would go and the dollar amount more or less, and this person was not professional, verbally padded their prices for the same brochure I already had, unknown to him, and said they’d get back to me with their formal quote once he talked to the installer - I’ve never heard back. So do your homework and you’ll find Easy Open Door Co., Inc. in Lakeside, CA is the way to go. Thank you. Margie"

"I had a spring break and cables disconnect on my garage door. The breakage even bent my door at the top where the opener kept pulling after the break. I was told when I made the appointment that 75% of these issues can be fixed. Andy came out and said he could reinforce the bent door with a rail and bigger bracket, but didn't guarantee the gap from it being bent could be fixed (made sense). Within an hour, he had completely fixed the bent door including the gap at the top was GONE and no longer bent. He also did a tune up on my other door. He explained everything he was going to do and showed me how to lube the doors with what and when. He was amazingly fast. Excellent job!"

FAQs for garage door opener installation and replacement projects in El Cajon, CA

A chain-drive opener costs less, but it’s louder and needs more upkeep. If your budget allows, a belt-drive model is often the smarter long-term buy, especially for an attached garage with a bedroom above where noise matters. The decision between a chain or belt opener comes down to your budget and needs, and your garage door opener installer can help you choose an option that best suits you.

Choosing the right horsepower for your garage door opener is crucial for safe and efficient performance. Your garage door’s design and material determine the required horsepower. A single-car garage demands a half horsepower rating, while a two-car garage requires a rating between three-fourths and 1.25 horsepower. Selecting the proper power level ensures optimum performance and durability over the life of the opener.

Plan on a quick garage door tune-up once or twice a year. Tighten the chain or belt, lubricate moving parts, test the safety sensors, and swap out weak batteries in the remotes or backup unit. A few dollars in lubricant and 30 minutes of work can fend off costly repairs, keep the door running smoothly, and help the opener hit its full life expectancy.
