Why Did My Garage Door Opener Just Stop Working?

The 3 Most Common Reasons Your Garage Door Suddenly Stopped Working

We get this question alot, "Why Did My Garage Door Opener Just Stop Working?"

Typically it is one of these 3 quick fixes:

1. Safety Eyes

If there is an obstruction or the safety eyes are out of alignment, your door will open but it won't close. Check out this video to solve any safety eye issues.

2. The battery in the remote needs to be replaced.

Here's a video to show you how it's done.

3. The lock or vaction button is on

Many wall pads contain a lock switch. Hold it down for a few seconds and the remote will function.

If these solutions did not get your door moving again, please give us a call. We'd be happy to come out and take a look.
