What's Going on with your Garage?

🚪 1. Garage Door Won’t Open or Close All the Way

Possible Causes:

Misaligned safety sensors
Blocked or dirty photo eyes
Broken torsion or extension springs
Limit settings need adjusting on the opener

What You Can Do:
First, make sure nothing is blocking the sensors at the bottom of the door. If that doesn't work, the issue may be mechanical and should be inspected by a professional.

🔊 2. Loud Grinding, Squeaking, or Popping Sounds

Possible Causes:

Lack of lubrication on rollers, springs, or tracks
Worn-out rollers or hinges
Loose hardware

What You Can Do:
Regular maintenance like lubricating metal parts can reduce noise and wear. If the sound persists, a technician can replace worn components to avoid bigger issues.

🛑 3. Garage Door Reverses Before Touching the Ground

Possible Causes:

Misaligned or dirty safety sensors
Obstruction in the door’s path
Incorrect force settings on the opener

What You Can Do:
Clean the sensors and clear any debris from the door’s path. If the problem continues, it may need a force adjustment or professional calibration.

⚙️ 4. Garage Door Opener Runs But Door Doesn’t Move

Possible Causes:

Broken drive gear
Disconnected or broken garage door spring
Trolley disconnected from the opener carriage

What You Can Do:
Check if the manual release cord was pulled. If not, the opener’s mechanism may be worn out or broken and needs professional repair.

🔄 5. Uneven Movement or Shaky Door

Possible Causes:

Bent tracks
Worn rollers
Improper spring tension
Track out of alignment

What You Can Do:
If the door is wobbly or bounces during operation, it may be a balance or alignment issue — something we handle quickly and affordably.

✅ When to Call a Pro

While small fixes like clearing debris or lubricating tracks can be done yourself, it’s important not to tamper with high-tension components like springs or cables — these are dangerous and require the right tools and experience.
