If you are experiencing problems with your overhead garage door, there are a few things you can do to troubleshoot and fix the problem.
- Check the safety sensors on the right and left side of the door frame. If they do not register any motion when you walk by them or if they are tilted in any direction, you'll need to replace them.
- Check the safety sensors on the top of the door to make sure they are aligned and not blocked by any objects.
- There may be remote controls that are not working and you may put fresh batteries in them.
- Remove any obstructions in the path of the door opening or closing, such as a tree branch or ice build-up on the tracks.
- Try lubricating the tracks by spraying them with WD-40 or other lubricant.
- You should also use a broom handle or similar item to clean out any debris that may be caught in between the tracks or on top of your garage door.
If none of these steps work, contact a residential garage door company for assistance with repairs or replacement options for your overhead garage door
