Some Important Reasons Your Garage Door Wont Work

• As garage door service professionals, weve
  pretty much dealt with every issue you can think
  of when it comes to repairing residential and
  commercial garage doors.

Transmitter Batteries

• It may sound cliché, but people still forget or
  fail to realize that the transmitter requires
  power to work. And this can sometimes include the
  transmitter on the wall in your garage too.

You should also realize that if the battery goes
in one place, it may have run out in others at
the same time because you probably installed them
on the same day.

Your Photo Eye is out of Alignment

• On either side of your garage door are photo
  eyes. Between the two eyes is an invisible beam
  that when broken, prevents the door from closing. 

• If your door wont close, check to make sure
  these photo eyes are not misaligned or dirty. If
  they are, heres a guide for cleaning and
  inspecting a garage door photo eye.

Track is out of Alignment
If youre garage door track is out of alignment,
it can be a serious issue. 
The metal track that your door runs on needs to
be aligned properly for the door to move. If you
see gaps between the rollers and rail or bends in
the rails themselves you have a problem.

Garage Door Opens/Closes Randomly
If you discover your door opening or closing at
random times, even when you are not home, it can
be a little disturbing.
The first thing to check is your transmitters.
Make sure they are not stuck under something that
can inadvertently depress the control mechanism.

Automatic Garage Door Opener Runs but Door
Doesnt Move
Every garage door opener comes with a disconnect
switch in case the power fails to allow you to
open or close the door manually.
This switch is usually attached to a rope or knob
that can be accidentally unhooked. Close or open
the door all the way and then reattached this
hook secure. Then try opening or closing the door
again with your transmitter.

Door Goes Down All the Way, Then Opens Again
If this happens, the most likely culprit are the
open and close limit settings of your garage door
opener. This range tells the garage door opener
how far the door should move before it is fully
closed.
If your settings are too high, the door will hit
the ground before the opener thinks it should and
assume the door is hitting something in its path.
It will then automatically reverse to prevent
crushing it.
