Top Solutions for Garage Door Problems
2
Is the Cord Plugged In?

• When troubleshooting a problem, it's best to
  begin in obvious territory. You likely checked
  whether everything's plugged in, but it still
  doesnt hurt to ask. Some people unplug the
  machine-head cord to save power, so check that
  it's secured. The same goes for everything else
  as well. Anything which requires power or
  involves a wire should appear fully functional.
  If your garage suddenly started acting up, it
  might be something as simple as a loose plug.

Check Your Batteries

• When diagnosing a malfunctioning garage door, the
  problem often stares you right in the face. An
  obvious reason why a stubborn door won't open
  concerns the batteries. Yes, it doesn't take a
  garage door expert to know that batteries die,
  and its easy to forget to check them.

4

• Open your garage door opener and change the
  batteries. If the garage door still won't open,
  maybe there's another source of dead batteries
  involved. Sometimes wall transmitters run on
  batteries, so investigate every possible source
  of a pesky dead battery. Once discovered, switch
  those batteries out and see what happens. If the
  door continues to ignore you, there's a number of
  other possible issues at play.

5
Examine Your Electronic Keypad

• Unusual trends in door activity often derive from
  electronic keypad issues. Where is your keypad
  now? Is anything coming into contact with its
  buttons or surface? Occasionally, keys become
  fixed in unnatural positions due to moisture or
  unwanted contact with adhesives.

6

• Essentially, you want to confirm that the keypad
  remains in optimal condition. If the keypad shows
  any signs of wear or damage on the outside,
  perhaps its inner hardware is even worse. Give
  the keypad a thorough inspection and make sure
  it's functioning perfectly before removing it
  from the list of suspects. During your
  investigation, you want to rule out every
  possible cause for an errant door.
• If your keypad doesn't appear fully functional,
  consult a professional like us to confirm the
  keypad as the source of the issue. Replacing
  keypads isn't an uncommon or extravagant
  solution. 

7
Keep Your Electric Eye Open

• Your garage door relies on a pair of
  photosensitive eyes to maintain operational
  safety. These sensors sit about a foot above the
  ground on both ends of the garage door opening.
  They shoot out a beam which crosses the path of
  the door opening. If the path of light becomes
  obstructed, then the doors will fail to open or
  they will not close all the way.

8

• Of course, this feature is an important safety
  component. Without the sensors, your door might
  close on a person or object, causing injury or
  damage as well as possibly damaging the garage
  door.

9
Maintain Sensor Functionality

• What if your sensors' eyes align, but the door
  still won't close or a sensor's light keeps
  blinking? In this case, your sensors may suffer
  from faulty wiring. The wires which connect the
  sensor to their power source often deteriorate.
  They look like two small speaker wires leading
  from the sensor's back. If they show corrosion or
  fail to make firm contact with the sensor, then
  you'll need to repair or replace the sensor or
  call Garage door repair  man.

10
Rule out Rusty Staples

• This easy check eliminates the possibility that a
  rusty staple is impairing the sensor's
  connection. Sometimes during installation, an
  errant staple may puncture the sensor's wire.
  Although it didn't impede the connection before,
  suddenly it decides to wreak havoc.

11

• Through the vibrations and weathering of the
  staple's closeness to the garage door, it will
  one day sever the connection. Just examine the
  sensor's wiring as it leads around the doorframe,
  checking for malicious staples. If found,
  readjust the position of the wire, which will
  hopefully restore the connection. If the wiring
  damage exceeds this solution, call a
  professional.you should remove these rusty
  staples and consult Garage door repair man.

12
Self-Opening Garage Doors

• Is your garage door seemingly possessed? Does it
  open and close whenever it pleases? Before you
  call a garage door exorcist, check out your
  transmitter. Interference may cause your
  transmitter to activate your door at unexpected
  times.

13

• The most common type of transmitter interference
  concerns the location of the transmitter itself.
  Is anything coming into contact with the
  transmitter? If an object accidentally sets off
  the transmitter, it will appear as though your
  door magically opens on its own accord. Do a
  little sleuthing to rule out any possible
  physical interference involving all your
  transmitters.

14
Door Refuses to Open

• If your door won't go up, there are several
  factors to consider. Before you curse your door's
  laziness and lack of vertical ambition, examine
  the torsion springs. Most garage doors operate
  using a double torsion spring system. Look up,
  and you'll see these metal coils on the shaft
  along the opening of your door.

15

• These springs convert their twisting force, known
  as torque, into the upward momentum which raises
  the door. The torque travels along the shaft and
  into the cable drums which carry the weight of
  the door up. These cable drums convert their
  twisting into the upward movement of the door.
  This happens through a transfer of tension which
  raises the door using upward volition.i it does
  not work properly you should show a Garage door
  repair man.
