Garage Door Opener Services in Calgary & Central Alberta
Opener repair, replacement and smart upgrades — chain, belt, screw and wall-mount units for every budget and every brand.
The True North Standard
Opener Services We Provide
Your opener does the heavy lifting hundreds of times a month — until the day it doesn't. True North Overhead Doors LTD repairs, replaces and installs garage door openers across Calgary, Strathmore and Central Alberta, servicing chain-drive, belt-drive, screw-drive and modern smart opener models from every major brand.
We don't just swap parts. Every opener call starts with a full inspection of the motor, drive, sensors, electrical connections and — critically — the door itself, because a worn spring or binding track will destroy a brand-new opener. We find the root cause, fix it properly and leave you with a system that runs quietly and reliably.
- Opener repair for all major brands (LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie and more)
- New opener installation and old-unit replacement
- Smart openers with phone control and vehicle alerts
- Battery backup units for Alberta power outages
- Safety sensor alignment and testing
- Remotes, keypads and vehicle programming
Know the Signs

- An opener from the 2000s or earlier — missing today's safety and security features

Why True North
Upgrade to Modern Opener Technology
Today's openers are quieter, safer and smarter than what most Alberta garages are running. Smart connectivity lets you open, close and monitor the door from your phone; battery backup keeps you moving during outages; and modern DC motors run smoothly enough for bedrooms above the garage.
One customer hired us to install a new opener plus dual gate openers on their driveway gate — and called the work extremely knowledgeable and efficient. That's the standard every install gets.

Common Questions
Garage Door Opener Services FAQs
Motor installs start at $700, depending on your door's size and the opener model you choose — drive type, horsepower and smart features all move the number. We'll quote exact pricing up front, and our new door + motor packages have beaten big-box pricing.
Belt drives are quieter and ideal when there's living space above or beside the garage. Chain drives are rugged and economical, a great fit for detached garages and shops. We'll recommend the right drive for your setup.
Yes — we install smart openers (and retrofit kits for many existing units) that let you open, close and monitor your door from anywhere, get alerts, and grant access to family or deliveries.
Often yes — worn gears, sensors and logic boards are all replaceable. But if the unit predates 1993 it lacks mandatory auto-reverse safety, and units over 15 years old are usually better replaced. We'll give you an honest answer either way.
