Before you replace it
An opener problem may begin with the door
If the motor runs but the door does not move normally, the cause may involve the door or its hardware. A sticking or uneven door needs attention as well as the opener.
Avoid repeatedly trying to operate a visibly damaged or uneven door. Tell our office about any broken components, unusual sounds or recent changes. See our garage door repair services for springs, cables, tracks and rollers.

Common questions
Garage door opener questions
Do you repair openers as well as install them?
Yes. For an existing system that has stopped working, see our opener repair page. This page focuses on selecting and installing a new or replacement opener.
Why does my opener run when the door will not move?
There can be more than one cause, including a problem with the opener or garage door hardware. Do not assume the opener needs replacement based on that symptom alone. Describe what happens and arrange an assessment.
Can I keep my existing garage door?
Opener replacement does not automatically require replacing the door. The door’s condition and compatibility with the proposed opener need to be checked first.
Can a new opener use a keypad or phone app?
Features depend on the selected model and compatible accessories. Ask which controls are available, whether they are included and what setup is required before choosing an opener.
What information should I have when I call?
Have your city, service address and a description of the issue ready. The opener brand and model can help if they are easy to identify without climbing or working on the system.
