State law on garage door openers
Minnesota law says: "No person shall service or repair an automatic garage door opening system for residential buildings that does not comply with the automatic reversing requirement." The same section allows the work when the opener "will be in compliance with the automatic reversing requirement after the repair or service" (Minn. Stat. § 325F.83).

What you will be asked
- What stopped working, in one sentence: a bang and then the door would not lift, a crooked door, a door that goes back up.
- The door: sectional panels or one solid piece, one car wide or two, and roughly how old.
- The springs: a coil on a bar above the door, or springs along the tracks, and whether one shows a gap.
- The name on the opener’s motor housing, and roughly how old it is.
- Whether the door is open or closed right now, and whether a car is inside.
The line takes: repair, replacement and installation of garage doors and openers, for owners and renters, at homes and at commercial buildings. It is not for: buying parts, doors on box trucks and trailers, or a price quoted over the phone without a visit. The price is named after someone has seen the door.
