Homeowners rely on their garage door openers for easy access to their homes. Since the garage is often the most common entrance into a residence, a malfunctioning garage door opener can be a major concern. Several reasons may cause a garage door to malfunction, including expired batteries, an unplugged unit, a dead motor, or an old opener. At 101 Garage Doors, we specialize in diagnosing and repairing all types of garage door opener issues to ensure the smooth operation of your garage door.

Remote Troubleshooting and Programming: We resolve issues with your garage door remote, including troubleshooting and programming.
Garage Door Opener Gear Replacement: If the gears in your opener are worn out or broken, we replace them with high-quality parts.
Garage Door Keypad Troubleshooting, Rewiring, Replacement, and Programming: We fix issues with your garage door keypad, whether it needs rewiring, replacement, or reprogramming.

Common problems that can affect garage door openers include:
Dead Transmitter Batteries: Without adequate battery power, the transmitter won't work. We check and replace expired batteries.
No Power to the Operator: If the power supply is compromised, the opener won't work. We inspect the wiring and ensure the unit is properly plugged in or hard-wired.
Poorly Adjusted Sensitivity: The sensitivity setting may require adjustment to match the door. Our technicians ensure the opener operates with the correct sensitivity.
Deactivated Motor: Sometimes, the motor becomes disconnected, preventing the opener from working. We reconnect and test the motor.
Un synced Keypad: If the external keypad isn't working, it may need a reset. We sync and reprogram the keypad to ensure it functions properly.
Old System: If your opener is over ten years old, it may be time for a new one. We inspect and recommend whether a repair or replacement is the best solution.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission requires that all garage door openers sold in the U.S. be equipped with several safety and security features to ensure that no one is accidentally harmed during their operation. Just some of the safety and security features offered by garage door openers today include:
Reversing Mechanisms: These mechanisms stop the door from closing and automatically reverse if something or someone gets in the way, thereby blocking the safety eyes.
Manual Emergency Release: Allows you to manually close the garage door in the event of a power outage.
Automatic Lights: Activate as soon as the door opens and remain on until the driver gathers their things and walks safely into their home.
Force Guard Control: Enhances your safety by allowing you to select from installed settings to ensure the door opens with only the minimum required force.
Rolling Code Technology: Makes it virtually impossible for anyone to gain access to your home with any transmitter, as it provides you with a different code each time you open your garage door.
Battery Backup: Provides power to your garage door opener in the event your electrical power is knocked out.
Please note that some of these features are not available on all models.
If you've had it up to here with your existing opener, now may be the perfect time to consider the purchase and installation of a new automatic garage door opener. A new garage door opener will not only end your frustration but also enhance your safety and security.
Chain Drive Openers: These openers use a chain attached to a metal trolley to open and close your garage door with ease. However, they can be quite noisy. If your garage is adjacent to or under a bedroom, you may want to consider models that hide the chain.
Belt Drive Openers: Similar to chain-drive openers, these use rubber belts to open and close the door, allowing for much quieter operation. They tend to be more expensive but offer a quieter experience.
Screw Drive Openers: These use a threaded-steel rod to handle the task of opening and closing even the heaviest garage doors. They are midway in cost and noisiness and require very little maintenance due to fewer moving parts.
