It is important to be able to easily open and close your garage door with the remote so that you do not have to get in and out of your car in inclement weather to pull the car into the garage. If you suddenly start having issues with your garage door opening correctly, there are many different reasons why the issue may be occurring. The following guide walks you through a few reasons why your garage door may not open properly.
Your Garage Door Remote Is Malfunctioning
The battery in your garage door remote will need to be changed from time to time. Try changing the battery in the remote if the door will not open when you press the button on it. If the garage door will open with the button inside of the garage, but will not open when you press the remote's button, you may need to purchase a replacement remote.
Your Garage Door May be Off of the Track
If your garage door starts to pen slightly and then suddenly stops, there is a good chance that the door has come off of the track or there is something on the track blocking it from opening. Go inside of your garage and look at the tracks closely. Look to see if all of the roller the door is attached to are on the track and if there is anything that may have fallen on the rack. If you see that a roller is not on the track, you need to call a professional to fix the garage door issue for you. There is a specific way that rollers need to be put back on the tracks and doing it improperly could cause you to get hurt on the door or the track to be badly damaged.
Your Garage Door Opener Motor May Have Burned Out
There is a motor inside of the garage door opener that may burn out over time. When this happens, an entire new garage door opener will need to be installed. If you notice that the door does not move at all when you press the button on the remote or the one inside of the garage, there is a good chance the opener needs to be replaced.
If you are not able to find the issue that is causing your door to not open properly, contact a garage door repair company. They can send a technician to look things over and diagnose the issue quickly and easily. For more information, contact companies like Premier Door Corp.
