Opener problems we repair
Remote or keypad stopped working
Usually batteries, lost programming or a failing receiver. We reprogram or replace remotes and keypads.
Door reverses before closing
The safety sensors are misaligned, dirty or blocked, or their wiring is damaged.
Motor runs, door doesn't move
A stripped drive gear or broken trolley inside the opener. Often a repair, not a replacement.
Door stops partway
Travel limits or force settings are out of adjustment, or the door itself is binding.
Many opener problems are repairs. We tell you when a replacement is the better value. If the wall button works but the remotes don't, start with fresh batteries.
When to replace your opener
- It is more than 10 to 15 years old.
- It has no photo-eye safety sensors, the standard safety feature since the early 1990s.
- It is loud enough to hear through the house.
- Repairs keep coming back or parts are no longer made.
- You want phone control, a camera or battery backup for power outages.
Our article on opener repair vs. replacement covers the decision in more depth.
Choosing a new opener
Chain drive
Durable and budget-friendly, but louder. A good fit for detached garages.
Belt drive
Very quiet. The best choice when a bedroom or living space is next to or above the garage.
Wall-mount
Mounts beside the door and frees up the ceiling. Good for high or vaulted garage ceilings.
Smart features
Wi-Fi control from your phone, delivery alerts, cameras and battery backup that keeps the door working during outages.
Compare the options in chain vs. belt drive and smart vs. standard openers.
Brands we install and service
We install and service LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie and Linear openers, and carry remotes and keypads for these brands. A heavy or unbalanced door makes any opener fail early, so we check the door and springs on every opener visit.

FAQ
Garage Door Opener Repair & Replacement FAQ
How long does opener installation take?
Most opener replacements are finished in a few hours, including programming your remotes and keypad.
Should I choose a belt or chain drive?
Choose a belt drive if the garage is attached or has a room above it, because it is much quieter. A chain drive is a durable value for detached garages.
Can you add smart control to my current opener?
Often, yes. Many LiftMaster and Chamberlain openers can connect with an add-on hub. We check your model.
Why does my door go back up before closing?
Usually the safety sensors are misaligned, dirty or blocked. Wipe the lenses and check that both sensor lights are steady. If it keeps happening, the sensors or wiring may need repair.
Do you program remotes and keypads?
Yes, for all the brands we service, and we carry replacement remotes for LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie and Linear.
