Opener Repair Services

Opener malfunctions stem from various causes—worn gears, circuit board failures, sensor misalignment, or motor burnout. Our opener specialists diagnose all major brands, carrying extensive parts inventories enabling same-day repair completion for most issues.

Common Opener Problems

Gear Assembly Wear Plastic drive gears experience wear from normal operation, eventually stripping and preventing door operation. Gear replacement typically requires 1-2 hours including complete drive assembly servicing.

Circuit Board Failures Logic boards control all opener functions. Component failures cause various symptoms—intermittent operation, complete failure, or erratic behavior. We diagnose circuit issues accurately, replacing boards when repair proves impossible.

Sensor Misalignment Photo-eye safety sensors prevent door closing when obstructions exist. Sensor misalignment causes doors to reverse immediately or refuse closing. Realignment typically resolves these issues within minutes.

Motor Problems Motor failures—though less common—occur from bearing wear, winding failures, or capacitor problems. Motor replacement proves more economical than repair for most residential applications.

Remote & Control Issues Transmitter failures, circuit board receptor problems, or programming errors prevent remote operation. We diagnose control system problems systematically, resolving issues efficiently.

Repair or Replace Decision

Openers exceeding 12-15 years often warrant replacement rather than repair. Modern openers provide enhanced safety features, improved efficiency, and smart technology absent in older units. We provide honest assessments helping you make informed decisions.
