If your garage door is not opening or closing using the control buttons, then repair is needed. There are different causes of such problems, for example, when there is a bad connection between the control panel and the door, or a door malfunctions. Do a test of the garage door, and ensure there is nothing blocking it from closing. Use the controllers and see if the door is not moving at all before you call for service.

You have to see how long it takes the door to respond to your commands. It should be responding in two seconds or less after pressing the opener. It should be able to open or close smoothly without delay. If you find that there is a delay when opening or closing, it could be a sign of something wrong. Call us so we can do an inspection and resolve the issue.

You should try checking and testing the balance of the garage door at least once a month. This will involve disconnecting of the opener from the door and operating it manually. When you bring the garage door midway and leave it, it should be able to continue falling or rising. This could be a sign that something is wrong with the tension springs or other parts of the door. You should not try doing the repairs yourself, especially when you have no experience. You might end up creating additional issues and have to spend more on repairs.

Older garage doors tend to make a lot of noise when being operated. If the straining or creaking is excessive, there could be a problem with the spring, opener, or the opener bracket.

There are different components of a garage door, and it is hard for anybody not experienced to know which is which. If you notice that there is a problem with your garage door, give us a call and let us take care of the problem for you. You will not have to worry about anything once we are done with the repairs.
