Question: The motorized garage door is closing half way, and then reversing to open position. What is wrong with my garage door?
Answer: Most likely that you have a problem with your safety sensors. If there is an object blocking the invisible laser beam between the sensors, if your safety sensors aren’t aligned and facing each other, or if the cable which connect the sensors to the garage door motor is disconnected, the motor won’t close the door. Make sure that no one accidently moved one of the sensors, and that they are facing each other. If the problem is not solved by adjusting the sensors, please contact us, and we will repair it for you.
Question: The garage door is only open half way and stop, what is wrong with it?
Answer: There are few possibilities that can lead to that, but the most common one is a broken spring, or a spring that need to be adjust. The garage door spring is under a lot of tension, and the breaking spring, and the garage door itself can be dangerous, and should not be used until a trained garage door repairman will replace the broken spring, or adjust the existing one.

Question: Why the garage door is making strange noises?
Answer: If your garage door started to make strange noises, it usually mean that there is a problem with one or more parts of the garage door (and it also indicate that you probably ignored the need for garage door maintenance). In many cases, replacing the rollers and lubricating the garage door can solve the problem. In general, a yearly maintenance should cover the need for maintenance, and if needed, it include rollers replacement.

If there is one thing we can recommend you, is that if there is a problem with your garage door opener, avoid using the garage door, since it can lead to a bigger damage.

Question: My garage door is out of track, what should I do?
