Transmitter batteries that are dead

The transmitter powers the door opener and is closer to your garage. The transmitter cannot tell the garage system to open the door if its batteries are dead. A weak transmitter battery may be indicated by a remote that only sporadically functions.

Try closing the door using the wall controls to see whether your battery is weak or dead. If it shuts effectively, get assistance from our specialist or change the batteries in your transmitter.

Track damage or misalignment

Someone might be hurt by a seriously imbalanced garage door that comes off the rails. Your door may not close due to twisted or warped tracks. If the damage is severe, new tracks will need to be placed.

Blockage of Sensors

On either side of the door are photo eye sensors. When the door closes, they gesture to one another. These signals may be disrupted by dirty sensors, keeping the door from closing. If the sensors seem smeared or filthy, just give them a quick wipe.

Sensor misalignment is yet another potential problem. To communicate signals and shut the door, the sensors have to be facing each other. Here, you may realign the sensors by adjusting them. Checking periodically for any broken garage door sensors is a fantastic habit!

Another possibility is that something is obstructing these signals between the sensors. The sensors may occasionally become blocked by glare or sunshine. Shift anything obstructing the sensors.

Damaged Springs or Cables

Cables and tension springs facilitate a smooth garage door descent. Therefore, if any of these parts are broken, the door won't close correctly.

Disconnect switch is activated

When there is no electricity, you can manually open and close the door using the disconnect switch. Inspect whether you have neglected to deactivate the disconnect switch, which disconnects your garage door and stops it from operating.

The unusual noises might indicate that the opener needs garage door repair in Orpington. However, if your garage door opener is always noisy, it can just be the result of ageing – older models are more prone to motor strain, which makes opening the door more challenging.

Our professional repair extends the life of your new installation and guarantees that the opener functions as intended.
