FAQ – Most Frequent Questions and Answers
My Garage Door Only Goes Down a Couple of Inches and Reverses
Garage Door Openers manufactured from 1993 to present have an infrared photo eye safety system to reverse the garage door if something is in the way.
- Common causes: items stored near the tracks (hockey sticks, brooms, gardening tools), spider webs on sensors, or misaligned photo eyes.
- Check sensors for obstructions and ensure indicator lights are on.
- If one light is out or flashing, sensors may need realignment.
My Garage Door Doesn’t Open – What Could Be the Reason?
Common issues include:
- Broken springs
- Misaligned sensors
- Faulty openers
If there is an electric opener with no noise when activated:
- Pull the emergency release (red cord) and try lifting manually
- If the door is light, the issue is likely the opener
- If the counterbalance mechanism is broken, only a qualified garage door specialist should repair it
My Garage Door Section is Damaged – Do I Have to Replace the Whole Door?
- Steel doors: Panel designs change every 5–10 years; if yours is older than 10 years, matching panels may not be available
- Wooden doors: Often best repaired by a carpenter or replaced entirely
- In some cases, full replacement is the most cost-effective solution.
If you have an old garage door that is showing signs of deterioration, rust, or structural problems, replacing the entire door may be necessary to improve safety, energy efficiency, and curb appeal.
Is It a Good Idea for Me to Replace My Own Garage Door Spring?
Only if you have prior experience.
- Torsion springs generate massive torque
- Extension springs store significant energy
- Both can cause serious injury without proper training
Recommendation: Always have springs replaced by a qualified garage door specialist
