Our Garage Door Opener Repair Services

The garage door opener is built from different parts that can be replaced or repaired. However, different issues demand different solutions, and sometimes it will be a better idea to install a new unit. Here is a list of repairs we can do to save you the cost of buying a new opener.

Broken Gear

The opener is built from different gears such as the chain drive gear and sprocket. These gears usually wear out after continuous usage and need to be replaced.

Faulty Motherboard

Also known as the logic board, the motherboard is the brains of the opener that contains the radio frequency receiver for the remotes and other control components.

Damaged or Missing Sensors

The garage door sensors are one of the safety mechanism your garage door opener has. When you have a problem with this unit, you may have a hard time closing your garage door.

A Loose Chain

The garage door opener’s chain should be tightened enough that it doesn’t hit the garage door. It might sag slightly, but that’s not a cause for concern. Generally, loose chains can happen with rugged or prolonged use of the garage door.

A non-functional wall unit or remote

This issue can be caused by simple reasons such as dead batteries or by an unplugged opener. If these aren’t the issues, you may need to replace to remote and the wall unit.

Garage Door Opener Installation

Some issues are more complicated than others, so you can’t fix them with a simple garage door opener repair. In those cases, the most appropriate thing to do is to ask for a new opener installation to avoid any more problems.

Some  primary scenarios of when you should ask for a new garage door opener installation instead of a repair:

• You need to replace an old unit with a better one.
• You are selling your house and you need your garage door opener to work properly for the home inspection.
• The garage door opener has problems frequently.

Common Garage Door Opener Issues

Grinding Noises

Grinding noises usually happens when there’s broken gear. Alternatively, the motor might be failing and in need of a replacement.

The Garage Door Opener is Not Closing Normally (Sensors)

If your garage door is in the process of closing and gets back up in the middle, the most likely reason lies with the sensors. The simple fixes are – checking if there is something in their way, seeing if the sensors are aligned, and clearing the sensors eye.

Opener Reversing Feature Doesn’t Work

This is the second safety mechanism your garage door has. This feature tells the opener if the door reached the floor or if something (or someone) was in the way. When not programed properly, the reversing feature can make the opener think it hit an object even when it only reached the floor.

The Remote Keypad or Control of the Garage Door Opener is not Responding

As mentioned before, this problem can have a simple fix such as replacing the batteries, checking if there is debris on the motor antenna, or seeing if the opener is unplugged. For other issues, you should contact a professional.

Emergency Release is Pulled Down

Sometimes when there is an outage, people pull down the emergency release and forget to re-engage it. The solution for this issue is to simply re-engage the release cord.

Chain-Driven Opener

A chain-driven garage door opener uses a chain like on a bicycle. It pulls and pushes the trolley connected to the metal bar and the garage door.

This is the classic opener style. It’s typically less expensive than the others on the market. However, they can be noisy.
