Reasons Your Door Isn’t Working
There are a number of different causes of garage door problems—there a number of different reasons why your garage door isn’t working the way it should!
Opener issues
One of the most common garage door opener problems is that it isn’t plugged in or power isn’t supplied to the outlet. Also, it’s easy to overlook the batteries! Sometimes the garage door problem is caused by low or no battery power in the opener.
Broken Springs
If your garage door won’t open or close, the springs may be broken. Broken garage door springs aren’t a quick, easy fix—they require professional repair.
Disengaged Emergency Release
Are you hearing the motor run but the garage door isn’t moving? It’s possible that the emergency release has been pulled or has become unattached. Reattaching it isn’t the same for every single model—it depends on the operator. So it’s best to call professionals.
Snapped Cables
The cable frequently breaks when a spring breaks, and this type of repair requires an experienced garage door company.
Keypad Problems
Sometimes the garage door won’t open or close with the keypad. Sometimes it’s just a one-time minor glitch, sometimes the batteries need to be changed. Other times, the keypad may need to be reset. For assistance, visit our keypad programming page and call our professionals!
