Getting the Facts about Your Garage Door Opener Issues

Having issues with your garage door opener? There are many issues and questions that can arise when your garage door opener malfunctions. Not only can it be difficult to know what garage door opener to choose in the first place with so many to choose from; troubleshooting a broken one can present even more questions. So, when you need a new garage door opener for your Maplewood home or if your current garage door opener is having issues, it’s best to call in the experts. As a professional garage door company, the experts at Premium Garage Door Service, would like to offer some suggestions to help you get your garage door opener back up and running in no time.


When your garage door opener won’t work…
Try moving closer to your garage door when you hit the button to open or close it because you might be out of range. Make sure the antenna that is on the motor unit is hanging down. Check the remote’s batteries and change them. Or maybe the remote needs to be reprogrammed. Premium Garage Door Service can help pinpoint the issue and provide any needed repairs.

When your garage door won’t close all the way…
The close limit switch likely needs to be readjusted. Give us a call and we can come out and see what needs to be done.

When your garage door opener won’t work with my remote or wall switch…
It is likely the power source has been disrupted. Make sure the unit is fully plugged in and make sure you didn’t accidentally blow a fuse. If neither of these solutions work, call our garage door company to come out and take a look.

When your garage door immediately close after it opens…
The close limit switch should be looked at. To be on the safe side and to make sure no accidents occur, give our garage door company a call to schedule an appointment.

What kind of warranty you should look for…
Usually, you will see at least a three-year warranty on the opener for your garage doors, and it will usually cover the motor, the belt and the chain. Some brands even offer a lifetime warranty! Just be sure you read all of the fine print so you fully understand what is covered and what is not and for how long.
