When Your Garage Door Opener Stops Working, Try This First

Your garage door opener should make life easier—not frustrate you. If your opener suddenly stops responding, beeps, clicks, or does nothing at all, you’re not alone. We’ve helped plenty of Hornsby homeowners fix garage door openers fast—often without replacing the whole unit.




Common Garage Door Opener Issues We Fix in Hornsby

The motor hums, but the door won’t move

Remote not syncing

Wall button unresponsive

Door reverses mid-close

Flashing lights or error codes



Top Reasons Your Opener Might Fail

Power outage or tripped circuit

Sensor misalignment (especially after bumping the door)

Interference with remote frequency

Worn gear inside the opener motor

Obstruction detected in track


DIY Checks Before You Call a Pro
