Garage Door Repair

Your garage, an often-overlooked part of your home, is usually the repository for a treasure trove of your family’s stuff. Sports equipment to garden tools to out-of-season patio furniture and everything else you hold near and dear is usually stashed in the garage. Plus of course, the family car and maybe a motorbike or two.

You rest assured that your belongings are locked safely away and don’t think about it until the day you can’t access them. Often, the problem is a remotely-controlled garage door opener that won’t work. Or, you risk having your belongings stolen because the door won’t close. Maybe you’re late for an important meeting or one of the kids has to get to soccer practice. Panic sets in!

Usually, the first thing you want to do is find someone who can repair the garage door – fast! But stop for a moment, take a deep breath and try a couple of easy things that you can do yourself. These simple things might save the cost of local garage door experts.

Things to Check Before You Call Us For Garage Door Repair

• First, when did you last change the battery in your remote? A large part of the time, the problem can be immediately solved with a new battery. Replace the old one and try the door again.
• If changing the battery doesn’t make a difference, then check to see if power is on in the home.
• When you are assured there is power, push the main button to open the door. Does the overhead light blink or does it come on at all? If it is blinking or it doesn’t come on, there is something blocking the movement of the door.
• Check to see if the safety sensors in the door frame are aligned. The safety sensors emit an invisible beam of light across the door opening to prevent the door from closing on an obstruction.
• On each side of the door frame, you will see a small light just a few inches up from the floor. The light on one side will be red or orange and one on the other side will be green. If either light is off, it means the safety sensors are out of balance. Just jiggle it a bit until it comes on, restoring the balance and then try the door again.
