Before you call: quick checklist
To help us get your garage door fixed as fast as possible, please take note of these 4 quick things before picking up the phone:
Stop operating the door
If you heard a loud pop (a snapped spring) or the door is crooked (off-track), do not try to open or close it using the electric opener. Forcing a broken door can burn out your motor or cause the heavy door to crash down, leading to much more expensive damage.
Check your vehicles
If your car is trapped inside the garage, let us know immediately on the phone. We prioritize "trapped vehicle" calls as urgent emergencies to ensure you don't miss an important appointment.
Try these 4 quick checks first
Before you spend money on a service call, take 2 minutes to check these common, easy-to-fix issues:
- Check the remote batteries: If your wall switch works but your car remote doesn't, the fix might be as simple as a dead battery. Try replacing the CR2032 or AAA batteries in your clicker first.
- Clean and align the safety sensors: Look at the bottom of your garage door tracks. There are two small infrared "eyes" pointing at each other. If a cobweb, a broom, or dirt is blocking them—or if one got bumped out of alignment—your door will refuse to close as a safety feature. Wipe them down and make sure their small LED lights are glowing solid (not blinking).
- Check the power supply: Ensure your garage door opener is plugged securely into a working outlet. Sometimes, a tripped circuit breaker can also be the culprit. Check your electrical panel to confirm.
- Inspect the tracks: Look for any obstructions in the tracks, like debris or bent sections. Even a small pebble can prevent the door from moving smoothly. Clear any blockages and try again.
