Lightning Strike? No Problem — Chamberlain Garage Door Opener Replacement in Stonegate, Land O’ Lakes

Living in Florida, we’re used to afternoon lightning storms. But when the skies cracked over the Stonegate neighborhood off SR-54, one homeowner got more than just thunder—they lost power to the whole house. When it came back on, their garage door opener didn’t. Even worse? Their car was stuck inside and they had errands to run—including a quick trip to Publix at Ballantrae Village Center just down the road.

That’s when they got referred to us—Blue Steel Garage Door Repairs. We headed over that same day.

Getting the Door Open and Life Back on Track

After a quick check, we found that lightning had fried the opener’s circuitry. Complete failure. But before we even got into replacements, we helped the homeowner manually disengage the opener with the emergency release lever, so they could at least get the garage open and their car out.

A New Chamberlain Opener Built for Everyday Life

With mobility restored, we got to work installing a new Chamberlain belt drive opener—one of our favorite models for its quiet operation and solid reliability. Perfect for families who come and go all day, whether it’s dropping kids off at Sunlake High School, heading to the gym, or commuting into Tampa.

We synced up the remotes, tested the safety sensors, and walked the homeowner through the new setup. They were blown away by how smooth and quiet the new opener ran, especially compared to their old chain-drive model—and grateful they could get back to their day without missing a beat.

Proud to Serve the Stonegate Community

This job reminded us how tight-knit and dynamic the Stonegate area really is.
