GARAGE DOOR motor repair – what are the MOST COMMON ISSUES?
We are lucky today as everything is connected via Wi-fi and almost everything can be accessed by a remote control, from simple things to more delicate things. Even with our daily trips to work, when we press that remote control for our garage, we do not notice how our simple Garage door opener is the main reason we can go in and out of our garage seamlessly. Sometimes we overlook the idea that this can be worn out too.
With proper care and maintenance, the average lifespan of a garage door opener is about 10 to 15 years under normal usage. It doesn’t matter if you are still using your grandfather’s door opener or if you just bought a new one. What matters is that you pay attention to your usage and regular professional maintenance once a year, at least.
Here are some of the most common issues that you can encounter with your garage door
opener:
My garage door motor is making UNUSUAL NOISES. Opening and closing your garage door should be effortless and typically quiet. But once you start to hear a sound coming from it, you need to have it checked. Any unusual sound such as screeching, rattling, or grinding means that there is an underlying issue.
My garage door is NOT OPENING OR CLOSING FULLY. Now, this will need an inspection as there are many various factors on why is it not closing or opening fully, why it gets stuck, or why it even shakes and vibrates when opening. Few things to check such as if there is any obstruction (debris, bird’s nest, etc.) or a need to adjust the opener’s settings, or even the fuse.
My remote DOESN’T SEEM TO WORK. My door DOESN’T OPEN EVEN IF I HAVE THE CORRECT CODE. If there is one thing that your remote can give you, it should be a hassle-free opening of your garage door. Check your signal and the range of the antenna. You also need to always check your batteries and your user manual to be able to sync properly with the keypad.
My garage door keeps on REVERSING AFTER CLOSING. It is the work of the sensor to prevent the door from closing and shutting down if there is an object or an obstacle in the way. Always check the safety sensors located near the floor.
If still in doubt, you can always contact us and we can inspect it the same day. We will always be happy to assist you.
Your safety is our priority!
