What is the Garage Door Opener?
A garage door opener is an important function that opens and closes your garage door. You use the garage door motor to power the lifting mechanism, which can range from a chain drive to a belt drive. The garage door trolly is what connects the lifting mechanisms with the garage door itself. Normally, you’d control everything with a garage door opener remote. However, you can disconnect the trolley with the emergency release, which lets you manually raise or lower your garage door.
On average, garage doors operate at a rate of 1,500 times each year. What it means is you can expect to get a lot of mileage for your opener. Parts can break down over time due to years of wear and tear. If that happens, you need a proper garage door opener installation.
Our Garage Door Opener Repair Best Practices
When it comes to repairs, our company uses state-of-the-art technology with technique and finesse. We strive for high-quality maintenance, whether it’s repairs or replacements. Our team understands what goes into every garage door opener, so we put our extensive knowledge to good use.
➤ The Garage Door Opener is Not Closing Normally (Sensors):
If your sensors aren’t functioning, we make sure to check the alignment. More often than not, misalignment is a factor in faulty sensors. Since the sensors need to be facing each other correctly, we can adjust both heights. We can also fix the switch operating the sensors.
Solution:
Before calling us, you can try to check the sensors by yourself, it will only take about a few minutes. Click here for sensor adjustment instructions.
➤ Grinding Noises:
If you hear grinding noises, it might be due to the gears breaking down. These are typically located inside the opener. We look inside to check if your gears are working properly.
➤ The Remote Keypad or Control of the Garage Door Opener is not Responding:
We do programming for not only your garage door keypad but also garage door remote. Our team of experts will check and see if your garage door opener functions properly.
➤ Opener Reversing Feature Doesn’t Work:
If the reversing feature of your opener doesn’t work, it’s a huge safety concern. Without it, the garage door can potentially fall on you. With a garage door safety check, we can fix your opener reversing feature.
➤ Emergency Release is Pulled Down:
If your garage door doesn’t open, you can use the garage door emergency release. You basically pull down the red cord hanging below the trolley. Doing so lets you manually lift your garage door without using the opener, which is convenient.

Garage Door Opener Installation
LiftMaster Garage Door Openers
You might prefer to get a new garage door opener installation rather than a simple garage door opener repair. One of the reasons you need an opener installation is due to an old unit. With old units, you’re better off with a replacement since repairs aren’t enough to keep it functioning properly. It’s best to upgrade to a cleaner version of a garage door opener.
If you want to work with A-Team Garage Door Repair, keep in mind there are opener brands we don’t use, which include Genie, Overhead, and Skylink. As a result, it’s best for us to do a completely new installation with our own products from Liftmaster. This also applies to sensors for openers we don’t have, in case you have a home inspection before selling your house.
