Battery Failure

Battery failure is one of the most common causes of garage door opener failure. When the battery fails in the unit, it likely will fail at the wall button as well. Periodically checking battery levels can ensure seamless operation.

Sensor Misalignment

When the safety sensors on a garage door become misaligned the garage door will fail to close. These sensors require a direct line of sight between them to ensure reliable operation. Checking to make sure these sensors are not misaligned or dirty can help remedy and problems that may be run into.

Autonomous Operation

When a garage door opens and closes on its own, the garage door transmitter is most often to blame. Frequency issues and wrongfully pressed transmitters can make the garage door function in this way. If a neighbor has the same frequency band on their transmitter, it’s possible it could be opening and closing at the same time due to interference.

Runs without Opening

To allow manual operation when needed, garage doors are equipped with a disconnect switch. This ensures that in the event of power failure homeowners can still open their garage door. This switch is prone to getting triggered as it’s attached to a rope or knob on the unit.

Broken Springs

Torsion springs are utilized to assist in leveraging the intense weight of a garage door to allow easy operation. When one of these springs breaks, the door will become immobile. Torsion springs can be very dangerous to replace and calling for professional service is the best option to ensure safety and correct installation.

Track Alignment

Track alignment issues can be caused by intense force or wear-and-tear. When the tracking loses its alignment operation of the garage door can become very dangerous. It is important to seek professional service for a job of this magnitude.
