What Are the Most Common Problems With Garage Door Openers?

See below for some of the most common garage door opener problems we see:

Wall Console Not Working:
If your garage door opener’s wall console isn’t responding, it could be due to a faulty switch, wiring issues, or a problem with the power source.
Garage Keypad Not Responding:
When the keypad for your garage door opener stops working, dead batteries are often the cause. Replacing the batteries and reprogramming the keypad usually resolves this problem.
Garage Remote Failure:
If the remote control for your garage door opener isn’t functioning, it may be due to drained batteries. Try replacing the batteries first, and if that doesn’t work, reset the remote. If the remote still isn’t working, it’s best to consult a garage door specialist.
Garage Door Will Not Open or Close:
A garage door that will not open or close might have misaligned sensors, damaged tracks, broken springs, or other structural problems. Seek professional help if you suspect a structural fault.
Garage Door Reverses Before Closing:
If your garage door reverses direction before it fully closes, the safety sensors may be blocked or misaligned. Ensure there are no obstructions in front of the sensors, as this often resolves the problem.

If you’re experiencing any of these issues and troubleshooting hasn’t worked, contact Suburban Door in Livonia today. Our skilled technicians are ready to diagnose and fix any problems.

What Causes a Garage Door Opener to Stop Working?

Obstructed Photo Eye Sensor: A blocked photo eye sensor is a common reason a garage door opener may fail to operate. This sensor is a safety feature designed to prevent accidents. Many items that can block a sensor include, cobwebs, debris, toys and dirt. Additionally, make sure tools, storage items, or parked cars aren’t blocking the sensors. The smallest obstructions can disrupt the signal, preventing the garage door opener from working properly.
Locked Garage Door: Ensure any manual locks, including slide locks or T-handle locks, are disengaged before attempting to use the garage door opener. A flashing green light could signal that the door is locked and won’t open. Also, check the tracks and rollers for any debris or obstructions that could prevent the door from moving smoothly.
Batteries are Dead: A very common issue that causes a garage door opener to stop functioning is dead batteries in the remote transmitter. Many transmitters will blink or make sounds when the batteries are low. If you suspect the batteries need replacement, check your transmitter type and replace the batteries. If you need help, contact a technician at Suburban Door.
Misaligned Track: A misaligned track can lead to serious problems, such as the garage door opener not working. When tracks are out of alignment, it can cause the rollers to get stuck, preventing smooth opening and closing. In more severe cases, the door could become completely jammed, posing further safety risks and damage, making it essential to address this issue promptly.

Jim from Suburban Door is a miracle worker! Happy Tails Renovations, LLC was doing a bathroom remodel in West Bloomfield. Homeowners garage door was an only Stanley model who stopped making garage door openers in 2001. The safety laser was rigged on the actual opener so when we closed the garage door we accidently left a home depot bucket inline with the door. So, door comes down and bends the rod from the opener to the wall. We called around multiple places and every kept wanting me to make an appointment for a technician to come take a look at it. Each time I explain I don’t need a technician. I need a specific part and could send a photo to see if they carry it. Nope, everyone wants to send one of their guys out so they can charge you only to say they don’t have the part and that the whole thing will need to be replaced. So, I head to Suburban Door Company. At this point, I feel like there is no way anyone has this discontinued rod and that we are probably going to have to replace the whole thing. In comes Superman Jim, who says to give him a minute and check in the back. In some sort of miracle, Jim comes out with the exact part that I need that has to be at minimum 23 years old if not older. Do you believe in miracles? Thank you Jim and Suburban Door Company!!!

I was instructed to buy a door at Lowe’s. Steve said it would work. Mike and his son came out, told me that was wrong, and hooked me up with a much cheaper door. It took a while, but Mike and his son were great. We are so happy with their service. Good guys. Steve was able to get the door quickly, but he should have known the one I got from Lowe’s ($800) wouldn’t work in our old Garden City home. Loved Mike and his son though. Good guys and they finished the job quickly.
