Nearly every opener call
is one of these.
Openers fail in a small number of very recognizable ways. Find yours and you will know what to expect. Tap a row to send it to us.
Dead remote or keypad
Wall button works, the remote or the outside keypad does nothing
Start with the smallest thing it could be. Usually a battery, a lost pairing or a keypad that has taken one winter too many. We reprogram what can be reprogrammed and only replace what cannot.
Get it fixedMotor hums, door stays put
You hear the motor run but nothing moves
This one is often not the opener at all. A stripped drive gear will do it, and so will a broken spring leaving the door far too heavy for the unit to lift. We check the door balance before we blame the motor.
Get it fixedDoor reverses straight back up
Closes a foot or two, then returns and the light blinks
The safety system is doing its job. Nearly always a misaligned or dirty photo eye, sometimes a pinched sensor wire. We realign, retest the reversal and leave the safety system working as designed.
Get it fixedGrinding or rattling
Loud grinding, plastic shavings on the garage floor, chain slapping
Do not keep running it. That is the drive gear or a loose chain or belt. Caught early it is a gear kit and a tension adjustment. Left alone it takes the rest of the unit with it.
Get it fixedOpener is genuinely finished
Very old unit, no rolling code, parts no longer made
Then we say so plainly. New LiftMaster openers add a quiet belt drive, rolling-code security and phone control. Garage door opener installation is a same-visit job on most doors.
Get it fixedThree steps.
No surprises.
One truck, one technician. Here is how an opener call goes from your phone to a door that runs quietly.
You describe the symptom
Call, text or email. A click, a hum, a blinking light, a remote that stopped. That is usually enough for us to know what the job needs.
We find the real fault
We test the opener and the door, because a heavy door fails an opener that is perfectly fine. You get a free quote, and the repair option before the replacement one.
We fix it and test the safety
Most opener repairs finish the same visit. We set the travel and force limits, align the photo eyes, test the reversal on a solid object, and run the door a dozen times.
We fix the door in front of us.
An opener is the easiest thing on a garage door to oversell, because almost nobody can tell a stripped gear from a dead board. We handle that by showing you the part, naming the fault, and quoting the repair before we ever quote a new unit.
