Is this your problem?
It closes, then goes right back up
Usually safe to check yourself first.
- Likely cause
- The safety sensors near the floor are blocked, dirty or misaligned, or the opener's force setting needs adjusting.
- What to do now
- Wipe both sensor lenses and make sure their lights are steady. Remove anything in the doorway.
The opener hums but the door doesn't move
Stop using the door. This needs a technician.
- Likely cause
- Often a broken spring. It can also be a stripped gear inside the opener.
- What to do now
- Stop pressing the button, the motor can burn out. Look for a broken spring above the door.
The remote or keypad stopped working
Usually safe to check yourself first.
- Likely cause
- A dead battery, the lock button on the wall panel, or the remote needs reprogramming.
- What to do now
- Replace the remote battery and check that the lock button on the wall panel is off.

Garage door openers questions
Which garage door opener is quietest?
Belt-drive and wall-mount openers are the quietest choices and work well if you have a room above the garage.
Why does my garage door reverse right after closing?
Usually the safety sensors near the floor are dirty or misaligned, or the opener's force setting needs adjusting. We can fix both.
Can I open my garage door from my phone?
Yes. Most new openers include Wi-Fi and a phone app. We'll set it up for you during installation.
Should I repair or replace my opener?
If your opener is under 10 years old, a repair usually makes sense. Older openers lack modern safety and security features and are often worth replacing.
