How we repair your Garage Door Opener
A garage door opener is a motorized unit that raises and lowers a garage door with a chain, belt or screw drive, controlled by remotes, a wall button and safety sensors. A garage door opener uses a drive motor or hydraulic pump, a drive system of chains, belts, screws or cables, limit switches, safety sensors and a control board. A technician checks power and controls, safety devices, and the condition and alignment of the drive system.

Common Garage Door Opener problems we fix

Opener strains or door is heavy
- Likely causes
- A broken torsion or extension spring, worn rollers, or a door out of balance.
- What our technician checks

Door reverses before closing
- Likely causes
- Safety sensors misaligned or dirty, close force set too low, or an obstruction or binding in the door tracks.
- What our technician checks

Door stops partway or travel limits are off
- Likely causes
- Limit settings drifted, a failing travel module, or binding in the tracks.

- Limits are reset and the travel encoder and tracks are inspected.
Opener does not respond to remotes
- Likely causes

- What our technician checks

Motor runs but door does not move
- Likely causes
- A stripped drive gear, a broken belt or chain, or the trolley disconnected from the carriage.
- What our technician checks
- The trolley and drive are inspected and the gear and sprocket are checked for wear.
Quick checks you can do safely
- Replace the batteries in the remote and the keypad.
- Wipe the safety sensor lenses and make sure their lights are steady.
- Check that the lock button on the wall control is not on.
- Look for objects or debris in the door path and tracks.
- Confirm the opener is plugged in and the outlet has power.
Safety first: Garage door springs and cables are under high tension and can cause serious injury, so leave spring and cable work to a trained technician.
