A door that feels unusually heavy, stops partway up, or hangs crooked is almost always a spring issue. You might also notice the opener working harder than usual. Leave spring repair to the pros — those things are under a lot of tension.

In most cases, yes. As long as the door moves smoothly and the tracks and rollers are in reasonable shape, a new smart opener will bolt right on. The installer will check everything before starting the job.
