Broken Garage Door Opener Repair In Cincinnati
If the springs that lift your garage door are the muscles of the operation, the garage door opener, the ceiling-mounted box in your garage whose arm attaches to the door, is the brains. It provides the initial lift to overcome the door’s inertia, and determines the speed and how far the door opens or closes. If your garage door opener fails, your garage door just got a lot harder to deal with.

If you’re experiencing problems like any of these below, we’re a phone call away:
- Sagging Chain or Belt:
- Issue: The chain or belt on your garage door opener starts to sag over time.
- Cause: This typically happens due to wear and tear on the opener or improper tension adjustment.
- Solution: You may need to have the tension of the chain or belt adjusted according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If it’s severely sagging or damaged, replacement may be necessary.
- Broken Gears:
- Issue: The gears within the garage door opener mechanism break, causing the opener to malfunction.
- Cause: Gears can break due to excessive strain, age, or lack of maintenance.
- Solution: Replacement of the broken gears is usually required. You’ll most likely need a qualified technician to repair this so give us a call. Keep in mind, if it’s an older unit, parts may not be available.
- Button On Wall For Opener Not Working:
- Issue: The wall-mounted button that should control the opener is unresponsive.
- Cause: Wiring issues, a malfunctioning button, or problems with the opener’s internal circuitry.
- Solution: You may need professional assistance to diagnose and fix internal circuitry problems, so don’t hesitate to call us.
- Opener Works Intermittently:
- Issue: The garage door opener works inconsistently, sometimes responding and other times not.
- Cause: This can result from issues with the remote control, interference, or wiring problems.
- Solution: The first thing we recommend is replacing the batteries in the remote. If you’re still having issues, let us diagnose the problem.
- Lightning Strikes/Power Surge Damage:
- Issue: Your garage door opener stops working after a lightning strike or power surge.
- Cause: Lightning strikes or power surges can damage the circuitry of the opener.
- Solution: In most cases, you’ll need to replace the damaged components or the entire opener. Consider installing a surge protector to prevent future damage.
- Excessive Noise:
- Issue: Your garage door opener makes loud or unusual noises during operation.
- Cause: Noisy openers can result from loose components, worn-out parts, or lack of lubrication.
- Solution: A technician will tighten any loose hardware, lubricate moving parts (such as rollers and hinges), and replace any worn-out components like bearings or rollers.
- Opener Operates But Door Does Not Open or Close:
- Issue: The garage door opener seems to work, but the door itself doesn’t move.
- Cause: This issue can occur due to a broken spring, disengaged trolley, or problems with the drive mechanism.
- Solution: A technician will examine the springs for damage and replace them if necessary. He or she will also check if the trolley is engaged with the opener carriage. If these components seem fine, they will then inspect the drive mechanism for issues and replace any damaged parts.
- Remote Does Not Work:
- Issue: The remote control for your garage door opener fails to operate.
- Cause: Remote control problems can result from dead batteries, damaged remote components, or interference.
- Solution: Replace the remote control batteries and ensure there’s no interference. If the remote is damaged or still doesn’t work, consider reprogramming it according to the opener’s instructions, obtaining a new remote or have us diagnose the problem and get your garage door system working again.
