Why does my garage door reverse before closing?

Usually the safety sensors near the floor are blocked, dirty or out of alignment. Clean the lenses and check that both indicator lights are solid.

Will a new opener work with my door?

Most standard residential doors work with any modern opener, but the door must be balanced and the springs in good shape first.

Common opener problems

Misaligned or dirty safety sensors, stripped drive gears, worn chains or belts, failed logic boards, and remotes or keypads that have lost their programming.

Repair or replace?

Openers more than 10–15 years old often lack modern safety and security features and can cost more to keep fixing. A technician can tell you honestly whether a repair or a new belt-drive or wall-mount opener makes more sense.

Smart openers

Newer openers can be controlled from your phone, send alerts if the door is left open, and work with package-delivery services.
