Understanding Automatic Garage Door Openers


Your automatic garage door opener is a complex system that includes a motor, drive mechanism, remote controls, safety sensors, and control electronics. When any component fails, your door may not operate properly or at all.


Motor Unit

The motor powers the lift and lower of your garage door. Motors can fail due to age, overuse, or electrical issues.


Drive Mechanism

The drive mechanism transfers power from the motor to your door. This can be a chain, belt, or screw drive system.


Remote Controls

Remote controls allow you to operate your door from your vehicle. They can fail due to battery issues, programming problems, or receiver failures.


Safety Sensors

Safety sensors prevent your door from closing on objects or people. When sensors fail or become misaligned, your door won't close properly.

๏ปฟ

Control Electronics

The control board manages all opener functions. Electronic failures can cause various operational problems.

Common Automatic Opener Problems We Fix


Remote Not Working

When your remote stops working, it could be dead batteries, programming issues, or receiver problems. I can diagnose and fix remote issues quickly.


Door Won't Close

If your door won't close or reverse immediately, it's often a safety sensor issue. Sensors can become misaligned or dirty, preventing proper operation.


Motor Running But Door Not Moving

This indicates a broken coupling between the motor and the door, or stripped gears in the motor. The motor works, but can't transfer power to the door.


Noisy Operation

Grinding, squeaking, or rattling noises from your opener indicate worn components or insufficient lubrication.


Door Opens But Won't Close

This is typically a safety sensor problem or a limit switch issue. I can diagnose and fix it quickly.


Intermittent Operation

If your opener works sometimes but not others, it could be due to electrical issues, worn components, or a control board problem.
