Having an automatic garage door opener is definitely a convenience. All you have to do is press a button and your garage door will open and close for you, allowing entry and also providing security to your home. It can put a damper on your day when your opener stops working and you need garage door opener repair.
A common misconception is that your garage door and garage door opener are all one part of the garage door. This is not the case, as your opener and door are separate and both can be changed at different times. A garage door can operate without a garage door opener manually, but most doors nowadays have an opener for easier use of the door.
While there are many different makes and models of garage door openers, they all have similar functions in how they operate, and similar parts among each type. Just like any other appliance in your home, these parts can wear out over time which can lead to failure of the unit, but can also cause damage to your garage door.
Common issues with garage door openers are loose or broken chains, stripped gears and sprockets, remotes and wireless keypads not working, safety sensors not working or are misaligned, or power failures.
We service all major brands of garage door openers and sometimes a repair is a better choice than replacing the whole opener.
