contact
a professional for help:
Garage Door Balance
By disconnecting the garage door from the opener so that it operates manually, lift the door halfway up and then release. If it slips down and does not remain in place, your garage door is not balanced.
Reverse feature
In the path of the door, place any piece of cardboard or wood. Activate the door to close by pressing your remote or any button that closes the door. When the door descends, it should reverse direction automatically, if it does not, call for service.
Replace Battery and Bulbs
This is super simple, DIY replacement and will not require a professional (although we would be happy to assist). Unplug the garage door opener, if your door does not open with the wall button, you will likely need to replace the backup battery. You can do so by replacing the old battery with the new one by using a screwdriver to remove the cover on the garage door opener. If the light bulb still does not turn on, you will likely have to replace it with a new one.
Door Photocell (sensors)
At the base of the garage door you will see sensors on each side. Ensure they are properly aligned,,. they should light up. Try to close the door and wave an object across sensor path. If the door does not reverse, you may need an upgrade.

FAQs
Can I attempt to repair my garage door myself?
While basic maintenance tasks like visual inspection and light lubrication can be performed by homeowners, attempting significant repairs without proper training and equipment is strongly discouraged. Garage doors are complex systems weighing hundreds of pounds and utilizing high-tension springs that can cause serious injury if mishandled. Professional technicians have specialized tools, extensive training, and experience working with various door types and opener systems. They understand the intricate relationships between components and can safely diagnose and repair issues while ensuring compliance with safety standards. Additionally, DIY repairs may void manufacturer warranties and could potentially create dangerous situations. For your safety and peace of mind, always consult qualified professionals for garage door repairs.
How often should I schedule routine maintenance for my garage door?
It's generally recommended to schedule routine maintenance for your garage door at least once a year, though homes with higher usage patterns may benefit from bi-annual inspections. Regular maintenance includes a thorough inspection of all mechanical and electrical components, proper lubrication of moving parts to reduce wear and noise, careful adjustment of springs and tracks to maintain optimal tension and alignment, systematic tightening of all bolts and screws to prevent loosening, and comprehensive testing of the door's balance and safety features. This preventive maintenance approach helps identify potential issues early on before they develop into major problems, keeps your garage door operating smoothly and quietly, and significantly extends its operational lifespan. However, if you notice any unusual noises such as grinding or squealing, difficulties in operation like slow response or jerky movement, or visible damage to any components, it's advisable to seek professional assistance promptly rather than waiting for your next scheduled maintenance.
Can you install a new garage door opener on my existing garage door?
Yes, professional technicians can install a new garage door opener on your existing garage door. They will conduct a thorough assessment to determine the compatibility of the new opener with your door's size, weight, and configuration, and ensure proper installation for smooth, reliable, and efficient operation.
What could be causing my garage door opener to malfunction?
Garage door opener issues can stem from various sources, ranging from simple to complex. Common causes include remote control battery failure, misaligned safety sensors, worn motor gears, loose chain or belt tension, and electrical problems. More serious issues might involve circuit board failures, stripped gears, or motor burnout. Professional diagnosis can quickly identify the root cause and determine whether repair or replacement is more cost-effective. Regular maintenance can help prevent many common opener problems and extend the life of your system.
How do I know if my garage door needs a spring replacement?
Several key indicators suggest the need for spring replacement. Common signs include difficulty lifting the door manually, uneven movement during operation, visible gaps or separation in the springs, loud popping or cracking sounds during operation, and the door failing to stay open when raised. If your door seems heavier than usual or drops rapidly when closing, this could indicate weakened springs. Regular inspection can help identify spring wear before catastrophic failure occurs. However, due to the high tension these components are under, spring replacement should always be performed by trained professionals using proper safety equipment and replacement parts rated for your specific door configuration.
