Having a garage door system that won’t operate is a major inconvenience and a security risk. The three parts of a garage door system are the garage door itself, the tracks, and the operating system. Depending on the type of garage door opener you have, you may experience problems as this system ages. Use the following guidelines to perform garage door openers repair in Bonita Springs.
A typical garage door opener system is comprised of torsion springs, motor gears, and an inverter/battery component. The tracks are sometimes considered to be a part of this system. Start by identifying the problem so you can find a possible solution.
When the wall switch of a garage door opener works but the remote control does not operate correctly, replace the batteries. If this does not work, try installing a new receiver. A receiver will have its own radio frequency for connecting to the remote control. It replaces the radio frequency the garage door opener uses. A new receiver should be plugged into a power source close to the garage door opener. A receiver will have two wires that should connect to the same terminals the wall switch of the garage door opener is connected to. Test this out a few times. A receiver usually comes with one or two remote controls. It can be cheaper to buy a new receiver with remotes than a new remote control.
Another frequently reported problem with garage door openers is a garage door not shutting all the way unless the wall switch is held down. This problem can occur because of faulty safety sensors. Ensure that these sensors are in proper alignment. There should be an uninterrupted red light from one sensor to another. If the sensors are correctly placed but no light is present, you may need to replace them. You can purchase new sensors for about $35 to $50 at local home centers.
Garage doors not closing properly and garage door remotes not operating right are just two of the problems home owners try to correct.
