Garage Door Opener Repair Boca Raton

Your garage door opener is that small, motorized device typically located above the door’s opening. The opener controls the open and close function of the garage door and if it isn’t working properly, you might not be able to raise or lower the door. A malfunctioning opener can also pose a safety hazard that could put you and your family at risk. A timely garage door opener replacement can keep your door working safely — and also prevent an expensive repair bill down the road.

Signs You Should Replace Your Garage Door Opener

A garage door opener can fail without warning. However, as with most mechanical devices, it will typically exhibit one or more warning signs that indicate a problem. Examples include:

  • Strange or loud noises: If you notice your opener getting louder, it’s probably about ready to fail. If you have a chain-driven opener, rattling or clanging chains are another sign of trouble.
  • Random opening and closing: If a garage door opens or closes on its own at random intervals, it’s usually a sign of faulty electronics. It’s often more practical and cost-effective to replace a garage door opener rather than repair it in these situations.
  • Garage door won’t open or close: If your garage door suddenly stops working, try replacing the opener’s remote control battery. If that doesn’t resolve the issue, there’s probably a more significant problem that will require a garage door opener replacement.
  • Slow or inconsistent performance: When a garage door opens or closes more slowly than usual or only works some of the time, it’s probably time to replace the opener.

How Long Should Your Garage Door Opener Last?

Even if your opener isn’t displaying any of these warning signs, you should upgrade to a new one every 10 to 15 years. You might need to do so sooner if it hasn’t received regular maintenance. An old opener can fail at any time and render your garage door difficult to use or completely inoperable.

How Often Should You Service Your Opener?

You should perform a monthly check on your garage door opener to maintain its integrity. Some steps you can take include:

  • Manual inspection: Unhook the garage door from the automatic opener and try opening the door by hand.
  • Travel limits review: Check to see if the door reaches the ground.
  • Safety reversal system check: Place an object underneath the door’s path and see if the door reverses upon reaching it.
