About 78% of Glen Ellyn's homes were built before 1990. If your garage door opener is original or more than about 30 years old, check whether it has photo-eye sensors near the floor: federal rules (16 CFR 1211) have required entrapment protection on residential openers made since January 1, 1993. A door that doesn't reverse when it touches an object is a reason to call for service.

Some villages require a permit for full door replacement but not for repairs; the installer should know and pull it if needed. Get a written quote that lists the parts, spring type and labor.
