Your garage door opener is the heart of your garage door system. When it fails, you're left with a door that won't open or close properly, compromising both convenience and security. At Longhorn Garage Doors & Gates, we specialize in diagnosing and repairing all types of garage door openers throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.

Common Opener Problems

Garage door openers can experience various issues that prevent them from functioning correctly. Some of the most common problems we encounter include:

• Motor failure: The opener motor may burn out due to age, overuse, or power surges.
• Chain or belt issues: Worn or broken chains/belts prevent the door from moving smoothly.
• Remote control problems: Remote controls may stop working due to battery issues or signal interference.
• Sensor misalignment: Safety sensors that are out of alignment will prevent the door from closing.
• Gear and sprocket wear: Over time, the internal gears can wear down, causing grinding noises or failure.
• Circuit board failure: Electronic components can fail, requiring replacement of the control board.

Signs You Need Opener Repair

How do you know when it's time to call a professional? Watch for these warning signs:

• The opener makes unusual grinding, clicking, or squealing noises
• The door opens or closes partially, then stops
• Remote controls don't respond, but the wall button works (or vice versa)
• The opener runs but the door doesn't move
• Excessive vibration or shaking during operation
• The door reverses immediately after touching the ground
• Lights on the opener flash or blink continuously
