Troubleshooting: My Garage Door Won't Open at My Mendota Heights Home!


When your car is parked in your Mendota Heights garage and the garage door won't open, what do you do? Especially if it's an emergency situation and you need to get your car out NOW? If it's not an emergency situation, you should call Premium Garage Door Service. Our experienced team members know exactly what to do to get your garage door back in working order. But if you need to get out as soon as possible, there are a few things you can try on your own. Here is a list of some of the safer things to try:
First, check to make sure your Mendota Heights garage door isn't in “vacation” or “lock” mode if it won't respond to the garage door opener when you use it from the outside. If the garage door opener still won't open your Mendota Heights garage, one of the most obvious things to check are the batteries!
If you are inside of your Mendota Heights garage, check the garage door opener's wires and make sure they are all still in one piece and aren't frayed. If they are frayed or torn in any way, call Premium Garage Door Service so we can make the necessary repairs or replace it for you.
Also, you can check your Mendota Heights garage door opener's electric eyes. Make sure the beam isn't being interrupted by an object and make sure it's aligned. Make sure both eyes are completely clean. The two eyes should be pointed directly at one another too, so double check that as well.
If all of this fails to fix the problem at your Mendota Heights home, pick up the phone today and call Premium Garage Door Service. We aren't just open during normal business hours. We also have 24-hour emergency service, just for situations like these. Give us a call at (952) 513-4849 (South Metro), (612) 234-4812 (Minneapolis), (651) 344-0489 (St. Paul) or (763) 607-3402 (North Metro) or contact us online.
