Q: My garage door won't close all the way- or only closes when I hold the button down. What should I do?

Check to see if the lenses of the sensors are dirty. There could be something blocking them such as a broom or even leaves.

If that's the case, it might be something you can 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 device.

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 put my door down and all of a sudden it went crazy! One side is a foot higher than the other, rollers are coming out of the track, and it will not budge.

What in the world happened to my garage door?

A: The most probable cause for this is the door was obstructed when closing.

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. DO NOT try putting any rollers back in. Doing so could result in further DAMAGE to the door and SEVERE injury to yourself.

Some door problems you might handle yourself, but it's wise to know when you shouldn't.

Call a trusted and reputable pro who has built a name for himself with St Louis garage door customers. You'll get fixed up in no time.

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, 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 recommmended, to ensure maximum safety and extend it's life.

Some get by without yearly preventative maintenance for awhile, but it can cost more in the long run.

A complete inspection and service of your garage door and opener keeps things working and helps you avoid common problems which occur by neglecting this.
