Loud bang, then a door too heavy to lift? That is a broken spring. Don’t lift the door, and stop using the opener. A technician shows you where it broke before anything is replaced.
Cable snapped or hanging loose, and the door crooked? Stop using the opener and don’t push the door straight. The cables stay under tension. A technician shows you why it came off.
Opener not working? The motor runs and nothing moves, or nothing happens at all. Stop pressing the button. A technician checks the door first, then the opener, and shows you what failed.
Door off its track, or hanging crooked? Don’t push it back, and keep everyone out from under it. It is heavy, and the springs are still pulling on it. The technician shows you what pushed it out of line.
Door won’t close, goes back up, or won’t stay closed? Keep people, pets and cars out of the doorway. A technician tests the sensors and the door’s reverse, and shows you what is sending it back up.
Squeaking, grinding, rattling or popping on the way up? A part is wearing. If the door also feels heavy, stop using it and call. A technician shows you which part the sound comes from.
Dented or cracked panel? On our jobs, a dented door is often one panel, not a whole door. A technician shows you what the hit did behind it before anything is replaced. If the door binds, stop using the opener.
Sensor light blinking, opener beeping, door going back up? That is the two small sensors near the floor, out of line or blocked. Keep the doorway clear. A technician lines them up and tests the door.
Remote, clicker or keypad stopped working? On our jobs, a remote that stops working usually needs pairing again, not replacing. Notice which controls still work, the wall button included, and say so when you call.
