When the opener acts up, the problem isn't always the opener. A broken spring can make it look like the motor failed, and a door that's off track will stop any opener. That's why we test the door by hand before touching the motor.

If the opener is at fault, we repair sensors, gears, logic boards, travel limits and force settings, and program remotes and keypads. If it's old, noisy or missing modern safety features, we'll quote a new quiet belt-drive or wall-mount opener side by side with the repair.

Our opener services

We check the door's balance first, because an opener fighting a heavy door will keep failing no matter how often it's repaired.

Opener repair

Stripped gears, bad logic boards, worn trolleys, broken chains and belts, and wiring problems repaired.

Safety sensor repair

Photo-eye sensors realigned, rewired or replaced so the door closes and reverses safely.

New opener installation

Quiet belt-drive, durable chain-drive and space-saving wall-mount openers installed and programmed.

Remote & keypad setup

Remotes, keypads and car buttons programmed and tested with your opener.

Which opener is right for you?

01

Belt-drive

The quietest option. Best when there's a bedroom or living space above or next to the garage.

02

Chain-drive

Strong, reliable and budget-friendly. A bit louder, and a good fit for detached garages.

03

Wall-mount

Mounts beside the door on the torsion bar, freeing up ceiling space for storage or tall vehicles.

Signs your garage door opener needs repair

Call us if your opener:

  • Hums or clicks but the door doesn't moveCould be a stripped gear, or a broken spring making the door too heavy.
  • Reverses before the door closesUsually the safety sensors are blocked, dirty or out of line.
  • Stops partway or won't open fullyTravel limits or force settings need adjusting, or the door is binding.
  • Is loud, slow or shakyWorn drive parts, or a door that's out of balance.
  • Doesn't respond to the remote or wall buttonA power, wiring, logic board or remote problem.

Safety first. If the opener hums but the door won't move, stop pressing the button. The door may have a broken spring, and forcing it can damage the opener or drop the door.

FAQs

Garage Door Opener Repair FAQs

Why won't my garage door opener work?

Common causes are dead remote batteries, blocked or misaligned safety sensors, a tripped outlet or breaker, a stripped drive gear, or a broken spring that makes the door too heavy to lift.

Why does my garage door reverse before it closes?

Usually the photo-eye sensors near the floor are dirty, misaligned or blocked. If cleaning and aligning them doesn't help, the sensors or close-force setting may need service.

Should I repair or replace my garage door opener?

If the opener is fairly new and the fix is a single part, repair it. If it's old, loud, lacks modern safety features or needs a major part, a new opener is often the better value. We'll price both.

What's the quietest garage door opener?

Belt-drive and wall-mount openers are the quietest options, which makes them popular for garages under bedrooms.

Do you install new garage door openers?

Yes. We install belt-drive, chain-drive and wall-mount openers and program your remotes, keypads and car buttons.
