Common Issues with Garage Door Openers
Screw drive garage door openers have a common garage door opener repair: the trolley or carriage carrier. When the garage door starts to get heavy over time, it adds stress to the trolley on a screw drive. The trolley can strip which will cause your garage door to slide when trying to open. This is also a sign that the garage door torsion springs need to be replaced in most cases.
On-chain drive garage door openers, it’s not uncommon to have a broken sprocket or stripped gears. The sprocket is a stress point when the garage door is too heavy, and the torsion springs are doing their job. You can extend the life of your garage door opener by replacing your gear and sprocket assembly.
You probably see a theme. Healthy garage door springs typically mean a healthy garage door. You’ll spend a lot less on garage door opener repair if you service your garage door regularly and make sure the garage door springs balance the door.
How do you know you have a broken garage door opener?
You will, of course, notice that you need garage door opener repair if the remote, wall control, or mobile app will not open the garage door. However, pinpointing if the issue is with your garage door opener or another part of your system can be difficult. First, look at the garage door opener to make sure that the light is on. If not, you might just need to reset the electricity to restore it to function. It’s not uncommon for a GFI outlet to be the issue. However, if the power works but the garage door still won’t, then try opening the garage door manually. If the garage door can be lifted manually, your hardware in terms of the springs and cables is most likely still working; you need garage door opener repair.
Maybe your issue is not that your garage door won’t open all of a sudden, but that it opens and closes on its own. This could mean the garage door opener has faulty wiring or is getting power surges causing an issue with your circuit board. Circuit boards are hard to diagnose and can be expensive. If your garage door opener is beyond 8 years of age, we normally do not recommend a garage door opener repair. Additionally, if your garage door opener makes strange noises either between or during the opening, it may need to be serviced or replaced.

How do I know if my opener sensor reversal system is working?
The automatic opener sensor reversal system is the most important safety feature for your garage. This technology makes your garage door stop and reverse if the opening is obstructed in any way. That way your children and pets cannot be hurt by a lowering door. The system knows to stop when something steps in front of the eye sensors located on the sides of your garage door opening. This safety mechanism is important to a discussion of openers because this feature should come standard. Your opener will work with the eye sensors to reverse the door so it is necessary to ensure both are functioning. Safety features similar to this are vital for protecting your family easily and reliably. If your sensors are broken, it’s important to have them repaired as soon as possible.
To test this system, you have the choice of several simple methods. First, place a wood plank or brick on the floor in the middle of the garage opening and hit the button to close the door. The door should immediately start to reverse when it hits the object. Second, try waving a long, thin object like a broom below the door blocking the sensors as it tries to close. The door should also start to reverse in this situation. If the door continues to close in either of these scenarios, your automatic reversal system is not functioning correctly. You can try cleaning the eye sensors to see if that fixes the issue. If it does not, please give us a call to schedule an inspection, and we will make sure your garage door opener is operating safely.
