Repair or Replace?

Many times, a garage door opener can be repaired, and it doesn't need replaced. Precision technicians arrive with a variety of parts on their truck in order to service your opener on the first visit. There are cases when replacement is necessary:

  • If the brand or manufacturer no longer exists, it may be hard to find replacement garage door parts for your opener.
  • If a manufacturer has encountered many lawsuits due to safety, we don't feel comfortable repairing these openers for the safety of your family.
  • Federal regulations surrounding garage door openers were enacted in 1993. If your opener was installed prior to 1993, it may be time for a replacement. This is especially true if your opener does not have safety eyes, which is crucial for a safe operating garage door.

Common Garage Door Opener Issues

  • Noisy or Slow Operation: This can result from worn parts, lack of lubrication, or misaligned tracks. Regular maintenance can often resolve these issues.
  • Remote Issues: Common causes include dead batteries, interference, or problems with the signal receiver. Replacing batteries or reprogramming the remote may fix it.
  • Motor Humming But Not Moving: This typically indicates a problem with the motor or gears, which may be worn or jammed, preventing the door from operating.
  • Door won't Open or Close: This can be due to power issues, a broken spring, or a misaligned safety sensor, all of which require troubleshooting or professional repair.
  • Safety Eye Issues: Blocked or misaligned safety sensors can prevent the door from closing. Cleaning the sensors or adjusting their alignment often solves the problem.

Imbalanced Garage Doors Cause Stress on Openers

An imbalanced garage door can put significant strain on your garage door opener, causing it to wear out more quickly and possibly lead to failure. As part of our thorough 25-point inspection, we ensure that your garage door is properly balanced to avoid unnecessary stress on the opener. When the door is not balanced correctly, the opener has to work harder, which can lead to costly repairs or replacements. Regular balance checks are essential to maintain the longevity of your garage door and opener, ensuring smooth and efficient operation.
