HOW TO FIX COMMONLY OCCURRING GARAGE DOOR PROBLEMS

Whenever their garage door opener stops working out of the blue, garage door owners begin to panic themselves; however, the solution to their problem could be quite simple. Today, we'll explain how to fix some commonly occurring problems. However, if our advice isn't enough, you need to contact our professionals to fix your automatic door properly.

THE WALL SWITCH AND REMOTE AREN'T OPENING THE DOOR

If you ever find yourself in a situation where both the wall switch and remote control aren't opening the garage door, there could be a few possible solutions to the problem.

First, check if the motor unit is unplugged. Then, make sure all cords are plugged in. If everything is connected properly, see if the GFCI or fuse has burned out, of it the circuit breaker has been tripped.

If you're experiencing other electrical problems in your garage, these are likely the reason why your garage door won’t open. Reset the GFCI or breaker, or replace the burned-out fuse. If this is a regular problem with your garage door, contact our team today.

DOOR WON'T WORK WITH KEYPAD OR REMOTE

To troubleshoot this issue on your own, try these solutions:

• Move closer to the door. You may be out of range;
• Make sure the antenna isn't damaged or hanging downward;
• If your garage door operates fine with the wall switch, the issue could rest with the batteries in the remote or keypad;
• Try reprogramming the keypad or remote control. If you don't know how to go about this, you may need to reach out to our well-trained professionals.

DOOR WON'T CLOSE COMPLETELY

If your garage door won't close completely, there are a few ways you can address the issue. First, try adjusting the limit switch to make sure the door closes all the way. If this doesn’t solve the problem, see if your tracking sensors need realignment.

If the issue persists, see if the rollers are rusted. If you’re not sure what you should be looking at, consult a Door Doctor professional. Doing so could save you from spending thousands of dollars on correcting damages.
