Another common issue we see is garage doors getting stuck in the closed position. Check for a broken spring or if the backup lock is engaged. If equipped, check the power to the electric.

Modern garage doors come with several safety features, including:

• Auto-reverse mechanism: The door reverses direction if it detects an obstruction.
• Photo-eye sensors: These sensors prevent the door from closing if something is in its path.
• Manual release: Allows you to manually operate the door in case of a power outage.

Regular maintenance ensures these safety features function properly.

There are several reasons why your garage door might not be operating properly. Common issues include:

• Malfunctioning garage door opener
• Broken or worn-out springs
• Obstructed or misaligned tracks
• Dead remote batteries
• Sensor issues

Check for any obstructions or misalignments of the sensors or any blockages, bends or breaks in the wheel tracks. If these checks do not resolve the problem, it may be due to a broken cable or operator, which will require professional repair or replacement.

Our technicians can quickly diagnose and fix the problem to get your door working again.

A noisy garage door can be due to:

• Worn-out rollers
• Loose hardware

• Unbalanced door

Regular maintenance can help reduce noise, but if the problem persists, it’s best to have a professional inspect and service your door.

It’s recommended to schedule professional maintenance for your garage door at least once a year. Regular maintenance helps identify and fix minor issues before they become major problems, ensuring smooth and safe operation.
