Common Garage Door Problems

Apart from the possibility of theft, a malfunctioning garage door can also turn out to be a major annoyance. It won’t open when you want it to and it won’t close when you want it to.

Needless to say, your only option is to call someone in to fix the issue.
But, before you do, it makes sense to know what the issue is and how it can be fixed.
That way, you can supervise the repair job better and even determine whether or not a professional repairman is actually needed.

Here’s a list of the most common garage door problems and their solutions.

Your Garage Door Won’t Open

So, your garage door doesn’t open, no matter how many times you press the button on the remote or the wall opener. 
Well, this is most likely due to an issue in the power source. Check if the motor is still plugged in. If it is, move to the circuit breaker or the fuse. 
These are some of the most common sources of power failure.

If you’re using a battery to run your garage door, try replacing the battery to see if that’s the issue.

Now, if your garage door responds to the wall switch, but not to the remote, it’s probably because your remote batteries have run out of juice.
Replace the batteries and try again. If that doesn’t work, there may be issues with the range. Get closer and give it another shot.

At the same time, make sure the antenna on the motor is pointed downwards so it can receive the signal. If none of this works, your remote may need to be replaced.

If you’re having problems even after trying all the above-discussed solutions, call a professional
