Before you call: If your opener's safety sensors (the small eyes near the floor on each side of the track) are blinking or misaligned, the door may refuse to close as a built-in safety feature — this is one of the most common, fastest fixes we make.
Common Garage Door Opener Problems We Fix
Remote or Keypad Not Working
From dead batteries to reprogramming and full remote replacement.
Door Sits Crooked in the Track
Could be worn gears, a failing motor, or a blocked safety sensor.
Opener Runs but Door Doesn't Move
Usually a stripped drive gear or disengaged trolley — a common wear-and-tear repair.
Loud Grinding or Clicking Noise
Often worn gears or a chain/belt that needs tensioning or replacement.
Door Reverses Before Closing
Misaligned safety sensors or incorrect force/limit settings are the usual culprits.
Opener Won't Respond at All
Could be a power issue, blown circuit board, or motor failure — we diagnose on the spot.
