Garage Door Repair Questions and Answers
5 Common Examples That May Help
Before Calling for Service
24 hour, 7 days per week including emergency service
Q: My garage door won't close all the way– or only closes when I keep holding the opener button down. What should I do?
A: Check to see if the lenses of the sensors are dirty. Also, check to see if anything is blocking them such as leaves or a broom. If that's the case, it could be something you could take care of without assistance.
Sometimes it's a different problem with the safety sensors. They might not be aligned properly, or need replacing. Look for an obstruction first if you can find one, and clearing it before trying again.
Q: Everything opens fine if I use the button on the wall, but not with my garage door remote. What should I do?
After you've double-checked that the battery in the device is fine and it still doesn't work, you probably just need a new remote.
Some models can be purchased at home centers, but problems often arise since universal-type openers are often not designed for your specific model.
You're likely to save some time and trouble by consulting first with a service
technician on this one.

Q: I pressed the button to lower my door and all of the sudden it went crazy! One side is higher than the other, the rollers are coming out of the track and it will not budge.
What happened to my garage door?
A: The most probable cause is that the door was obstructed when closing. It's also possible the roller simply came out of the track.
It may have caught on one side which causes the cable on your door to come off the drum (pulley). Sometimes, the cable has broken.
This can be very dangerous! DO NOT try to move the door. DO NOT try taking off any brackets or try putting any rollers back in place. Doing so could result in serious injury to yourself and further damage to the door.
This is not a situation to handle door problems yourself.

Q: The motor on my garage door opener sounds like it is running, but nothing is moving. What could be the problem?
A: If you have a Sears Craftsman,
Chamberlain, or Liftmaster, opener, the gears inside of the motor head may be
worn out or stripped. If you have a Genie Screw Drive opener,
the trolley may be worn out or stripped.
You may need to have your gears or trolley replaced. Sometimes a complete service of your door and opener is recommended.
Q: How often should I service my door?
A: At least once a year is recommended to ensure maximum safety and extended life. Servicing often prevents repairs.
A complete and detailed door inspection and service, including the opener keeps things working and helps you stay clear of many common problems that occur from neglect.
