GARAGE DOORS & OPENERS

Common problems

Choose the symptom that matches what you have observed. Each guide begins with a safety check.

Garage door won’t close

Check the doorway, sensor indicators and the point at which you need professional help.

Separate a remote problem from an opener problem, then check lock mode, the battery and model-specific programming.

Compare existing observations at close range and with opener lighting off before assuming a receiver fault.

Record whether the door, motor and indicators respond. Avoid repeated attempts and get the right kind of help.

Distinguish a blocked path from reversal near the floor, and recognize when travel or mechanical diagnosis is needed.

Keep people away from the door and stop using it. Read the safety boundaries before taking another step.
