Most Common Garage Door Problems and How to Repair Them

new white garage doors

Your garage door is one of the most utilized features of your home. Did you know that you will open and close your garage door over 1,500 times a year? You depend on it to work properly, so if your garage door is malfunctioning, it can cause inconvenience and even become a safety concern. Here are the most common garage door problems, and solutions that can get your garage door working like a charm.

Noisy Garage Door

A noisy garage door can be a nuisance, but it can also be a sign of mechanical issues that need to be addressed. A noisy door can usually be repaired by following a routine maintenance schedule, including regular inspections by a qualified garage door specialist. During an inspection, a specialist will be able to diagnose the reason behind the annoying noise and recommend needed repairs. Whether the problem lies in the hardware, cables, pulleys or an imbalance in the door, a thorough inspection will reveal it.

Garage Door Opener Not Working

Another common garage door complaint is a malfunctioning garage door opener. Sometimes you can find the problem with a little troubleshooting. Check to make sure the garage door is unlocked and the motor is plugged in. If this does not solve your problem, there could be a problem with the sensor. The sensor could be dirty, making it impossible for a good connection to occur. If you are unable to find the answer, call in a garage door specialist to further diagnose the problem.

Garage Door Not Opening or Closing

If the garage door is stuck in the open or closed position, this can not only be annoying but could be a potential safety hazard. Check the batteries in the remote control to see if they are expired, and make sure the motor is plugged in. If these tips do not work, call a garage door expert quickly, especially if your door is stuck in an open position, leaving your valuables exposed and giving thieves easier entry into your home.

Door Not Opening While Motor is Running

If you press the garage door opener and hear the motor running, but the garage door does not open, it could be disconnected from the belt. This repair should be performed by a professional to ensure the belt is reattached correctly.

Uneven Garage Door Opening

Sometimes your garage door will begin to open, only to get stuck halfway up. Or it could raise higher on one side than the other, causing it to stop before it fully opens. When this occurs, it could mean that the garage door tracks are broken or rusty, or there could be something blocking the track. Make sure there is no debris stuck in the track in an effort to diagnose the problem. If there are no visible blockages, the problem could lie in the spring system. Your garage door specialist can identify and repair the problem for you.

Garage Door Operating Slowly

If your garage door is moving slower than normal, the roller or tracking system could be to blame. Winter can cause the rollers to dry out or freeze, affecting the speed at which your garage door moves. Lubricating the rollers and cleaning the tracks can usually solve this issue.

I’m so glad that I contacted Bill @ Habpro when the spring in my garage door broke. I called mid-morning and he had a technician at my home that afternoon. The technician was kind and extremely professional. He had the garage door fixed very quickly and for a great price! I would ABSOLUTELY recommended Habpro to all of my friends and family! What a great experience with great people!

Wonderful quick service. They helped me find the part to replace and came out within a few days. Greg was able to have the problem fixed within in hour time and also gave me some insight as to why the problem happened in the first place. Price was very reasonable as well. Will def be using this company again and refer them to my friends and family.

Daniel B.

Fantastic service and premium quality product. Bill gave me competitive prices on two insulated metal doors and programmable openers, scheduled the installation at a convenient time for me, and Chuck who did the installation show up right on time. After he thoroughly cleaned up, he stayed and helped sync both vehicles to the openers. I highly recommend Habpro. You won't be disappointed.
