Common opener faults
Door reverses before it closes
Usually the safety sensors: out of line, dirty, or wet from fog.
Opener hums but the door doesn't move
Often a stripped drive gear, a disengaged trolley or a door that is binding.
Remote or keypad stopped working
A battery, a lost pairing, a damaged antenna wire or a logic board fault.
Door stops short or opens only partway
Travel limits or force settings out of adjustment, or a door that has gone out of balance.
How an opener repair visit goes
- You call and say what the opener is doing.
- At the door, the door is checked first: a binding door makes an opener look faulty.
- You hear the exact price, for a repair and for a replacement when that is the better buy.
- After the repair the safety reverse is tested with the door closing.
Coastal hardware
Openers in fog: sensors, rails and boards
- Why it fails here
- Coastal fog and low cloud usually form over the ocean first and are pushed onshore through gaps in the coastal hills. A shallow marine layer keeps that damp air right along the coastline. Moisture beads on sensor lenses and corrodes wire ends, and a steel chain rusts on the rail. Source: San Francisco Marine Exchange, "Weather in the San Francisco Bay".
- What holds up
- A belt drive in place of a chain, sealed wire connections, and sensors mounted where water doesn't pool.
- Check interval
- Test the door's safety reverse at least once every four weeks: lay a 1½-inch-thick piece of wood flat on the floor at the center of the door and close it. The door should reverse when it touches the wood. Source: DASMA (Door & Access Systems Manufacturers Association), "Safety Tips: Garage Door Openers".

Opener repair questions
How much does garage door opener repair cost?
Opener repair starts from $75 for one fault such as sensors, a remote or the travel limits. A failed logic board or motor costs more. A new opener installed starts from $250.
Why does my garage door go back up before it closes?
The opener reverses when the safety sensors at the bottom of the tracks lose sight of each other, or when the door meets resistance. Wipe both lenses, check that both lights are on and that the sensors face each other. If it still reverses, the force or travel settings, or a binding door, need a look.
Should I repair or replace my garage door opener?
Repair it when one part has failed on an opener that is otherwise sound. Repairs start from $75. Replacing makes more sense when the motor or board has failed on an older unit, or when you want a quieter belt drive or app control. A new opener installed starts from $250.
How do I open my garage door when the power is out?
Pull the red emergency release cord on the opener to disconnect the door, then lift it by hand. Do this with the door closed when you can: if a spring is broken, a released door that is open can drop. If the door feels very heavy or won't stay up, leave it closed and call. When the power is back, run the opener and it reconnects on the next cycle.
