There are two main entry points to a home and one of them is the front door and the other is through the garage door. The garage door is the main entry point for over half Americans. A good solid working garage door is taken for granted until all of a sudden it isn’t working. This can throw a huge wrench in your day. It can trap your car in the garage and get you off your schedule and make you late for appointments and other responsibilities. You may not have any clue what could be wrong or how to fix it but there are some common troubles that cause garage doors to stop working.

VF&I Garage Doors Lists the Most Common Garage Door Problems

Garage Door Clicker or Transmitter Batteries: This may seem like a silly reason for garage door to stop working but most people depend on their garage door clicker or the transmitter. This is the clicker that when a button is pushed the door is engaged and either opens or closes. If you hit the button and nothing happens the first thing you should do is to check the batteries in the clicker.
Garage Door Photo Eye Sensor Out Of Alignment: The garage door is set on tracks and at the end of the track there is a photo eye sensor. This is part of the door that tells it that there is something that is impeding on the door closing safely. It is extremely important to have the sensors aligned perfectly in order to have the door working properly. If the alignment is out the door may not shut all the way and will continue to open back up again and again.
Broken Garage Door Springs: If you go to open your garage door and you hear the motor engage but the door won’t open you could have trouble with the springs. The spring is part of the mechanism that does all the lifting. They are large springs that will pull the door up and send it back down so when they break it will stop the garage door in its track. The springs can be replaced when they are broken and that will get the door back in business.
Garage Door Motor Seized: Another problem that you may have is that the motor has seized up and no longer working. The motor is fairly simple and is made to work for years and years. On occasion the motor can go out and will need to be replaced. The great thing is that the rest of the garage door should be fine and will work with the newly installed motor.
Garage Door is Noisy: This is not always a problem that needs to be repaired but if your door is extremely noisy it can be annoying. There is a reason and it can be repaired if you hire a professional garage door repair company. The door can be noisy when the tracks are not level .They can be checked and fixed so that the door is much quieter.
