Common Garage Door Opener Issues

There are some issues you will experience with your garage door opener from time to time. Regular maintenance can keep it in good condition. Nevertheless, it’s best to be prepared for any issue you may encounter. 

Opener Reversing Feature Doesn't Work

The opener reversing feature works when the door panel comes into contact with something along the tracks. Any object, person, or obstruction should auto-reverse the movement of the garage door. When this feature doesn’t work, it compromises the safety of your garage. Always do a garage door safety check, and don’t forget to inspect this feature.

Grinding Noises

Broken gears and loose parts often create noise in the opener. The mechanism of the opener results in grinding noises if there is something stuck within the chains or the belt-drive.

The Garage Door Opener is Not Closing Normally (Sensors)

The opener has alignment knobs and force adjustment knobs present. You can modify travel distance and movement force by turning the knobs clockwise or counter clockwise. Faulty sensors may not be able to detect the movement of the door panels. Check the sensors and the knobs to ensure that the door panels travel by the set height and distance. 

The Remote Keypad or Control of the Garage Door Opener is not Responding

The garage door keypad and the garage door remote are some of the devices you can use to command the opener. Always check for the battery or the power supply of these devices. If the opener doesn’t respond, you’ll end up having to open the garage manually. 

Emergency Release is Pulled Down

The manual way to open the doors to the garage is via garage door emergency release cord. By pulling the connecting cord between the door panel and the opener, the door disengages. However, you need to put the emergency release back in place, or else you’ll have a garage door that won’t open.

Types Of Garage Door Openers

Chain Driven Garage Door Opener

Garage door chain opener

Chain-drive garage door openers use a chain that cycles around the opener rail. The motor moves along to pull up the door while the chain cycles around. These kind of openers are a popular choice among most homeowners.
The chain-driven garage door opener is the most affordable type of opener.
Additionally, it is durable enough to last many cycles of opening and closing the doors.

Belt Driven Garage Door Opener

Belt-driven openers share a similar mechanism as the chain-driven openers, but instead of a chain around the rail, they use a belt.
The belt produces less noise than the chain during operation.
Furthermore, the belt-driven opener needs less maintenance to function well.

Wall Mount Garage Door Opener

Wall-mount openers are more common in commercial garages and high-lift garages. This opener is also called the jackshaft garage door opener.

FAQ GARAGE DOOR OPENERS

1. Is there more than one type of garage door opener available in the market?

Absolutely! There are two primary types of trolley garage door openers on the market – chain drive and belt drive.

Chain drive garage door openers make use of a heavy-duty metal chain, though some models are entirely chain driven. Chain drives offer a higher level of security and durability.

Belt driven garage door openers feature a rubberized metal belt which operates more quietly than its counterpart. Therefore, belt drives are often selected by homeowners who live near or above garages where noise might be an issue (i.e close to bedrooms).

2. Is it possible to buy a garage door opener at the store?

Garage door openers can be found at nearly any hardware or big box store. While this may appear to be a time-saver, it is suggested that you consult with a specialist garage door technician. Of course, it may seem a little prejudiced of us to recommend this, but the garage door openers available at the shop are not suitable for routine opened and closed residential garages. If you want a new garage door opener, give our team a call (or have one repaired). We can examine the situation, your door, and offer an expert opinion on which garage door opener is ideal for your needs.

3. How can I reset the remote after a power outage?

Climbing up to your garage door opener and reading the instructions for reprogramming is usually a two-step procedure that begins with going up to the garage door opener and looking at the directions. Check your make and model on the internet to get access to the instructions faster.

4. Is it feasible for me to install my own garage door opener?

It is quite easy to construct your own garage door opener if you are handy with tools. Those who wish to install the device on their own should first consider the task’s complexity. Hiring a professional company to install your garage door opener would be a better alternative. Why risk time, effort, and annoyance when you can call a professional?

5. Is my garage door vulnerable to breaking and entry when I am not home?

When it’s time to return, many people are concerned about whether or not they’ll be able to get back into their house. This is a typical worry that demonstrates how important security and protection are for homeowners. You want to know that no one will be able to enter your garage without your consent while you’re away from home or sleeping at night. There are a number of methods to ensure that your garage door is safe at all times. Before you do anything else, call a professional to make sure your garage door and opener are installed correctly. Many openers have an on/off setting that stops people from using a remote control to access the door, which can prevent burglars from breaking in. If you’re going to be gone for a while, it’s also a good idea to unplug the opener.

6. Why won’t my door close and instead reverses to open?

All North American garage doors must have two automatic reversal systems. This legislation was passed in 1993 to avoid individuals being injured as a result of their garage doors closing on them. Your garage door should function normally again once you’ve corrected the cells. Give us a call if your garage door won’t close after correcting the photocells!

7. Are there any apps that will allow me to open my garage door with my phone?

There are apps that enable you to open and close your garage door from any location. This is incredibly useful if somebody needs access to your home or if you want a package delivered inside.

8. What is the average price of a garage door automatic opener?

The price you pay to have a garage door opener installed will depend on the model of opener you select and the difficulty of installation.

Please contact us for further details on the pricing of a new door or garage door opener. We can provide cost estimates and help you with your project’s needs.
