Common Problems with Garage Door Openers

Garage door openers have many moving parts. Over time, some parts may stop working. Here are a few common issues:

Your garage door does not move when using the remote or keypad. The problem might be the signal. The antenna may not reach the remote control. Most garage door openers use small radio signals. If the signal is weak, the door will not work. Also, keypads and remotes have tiny parts that can lose their programming.

Your garage door does not close fully. The close-limit switch might need an adjustment. This switch tells the motor when to stop running. If the switch is set wrong, the door might not close.

The motor keeps running even after the garage door opens. This is a rare problem. It happens when the up-limit switch is in the wrong spot. The gears inside the motor might also be damaged. This causes the motor to run but not move the door.

Garage Door Opener Parts We Fix

Garage door openers have many parts. We repair and replace all of them. Some common parts we fix include:

Pulleys, gears, and sprockets: These parts help the motor lift the door. They transfer power from the motor to the door.

Chains: Chain-driven openers use a metal chain to open the garage door. The chain works with springs to move the door up and down.

Belts: Belt-driven openers use a rubber belt instead of a chain. This makes them quieter and smoother.

Cables: Cables are on both sides of the door. They work with springs to help the door move. If one cable breaks, the other will also wear out quickly.

Rails: Rails are the tracks that help the door slide open and close. They are placed on the sides and above the door.

Brackets: Brackets hold the door in place. They help the door work properly and last longer.
