Garage doors may be different for each home, but they all experience similar problems. Some of these issues might include:
- Malfunctioning remote: Do you have a dead or faulty remote? If your remote isn’t working, check the batteries and try to reprogram it.
- Misaligned sensors: Sensors that become misaligned are prevented from properly identifying obstacles. If this is the case, check both sensors and make sure they are properly installed.
- Broken springs: Springs play an important role in lifting the garage door and can break if not properly maintained. Regularly check your springs for any signs of damage.
- Cable snaps: The pulley system of cables that supports the opening and closing of the garage door is crucial. But if one of these cables snaps, it can cause serious damage and should be replaced quickly.
- Damaged panels: It’s important to maintain a clean exterior on your garage door, as any wear or damage can reduce its effectiveness over time. Regularly inspect the panels for signs of deterioration and replace them if needed.
- Track issues: The track is what allows the door to move up and down, so any issues with its alignment can cause problems. Check that the tracks are properly installed and replace them if needed.
- Worn rollers: The rollers carry the weight of the door. Over time, they can become worn and need to be replaced.
- Incorrectly installed openers: If you’re having trouble with your opener, it may be due to incorrect installation or wiring. Double check the installation and make sure all connections are secure.
