Check for Common Garage Door Issues First

If you don’t feel comfortable troubleshooting yourself, reach out to our experts for help.
Otherwise, some of the most common problems that you might be able to rectify yourself include:
- Unplugged opener
- Garage door sensors are blocked
- Remote control issues with programming
- Dead batteries in the remote

When a garage door is stuck, you might have a physical or mechanical problem. You should not try to fix these issues yourself, but you can look for them and let our team know what you see.
Potential issues could include:
