What You Need to Know About Garage Door Remotes
Garage door remotes are handy devices that allow you to automatically open your door without the need to lift it manually or get out of your vehicle when it’s too hot or cold and raining. Remotes are designed to send an infrared signal to a receiver that prompts the electric motor on your garage door to open. Remotes will only work within a certain range.
Fixing Broken Garage Door Remotes
Oftentimes, simple adjustments are all that’s needed to fix a malfunctioning garage door remote. Steps that you can take before calling us to make garage door remote repairs include:
- Replacing the batteries (this is the most common problem)
- Cleaning the eyes
- Checking battery contacts
- Resetting the system
If none of these steps solve your problem, just give us a call and we will determine what the issue is and solve it for your quickly.

Our team will arrive quickly to pinpoint the problem if you need emergency assistance with your garage door remote.

Garage Door Remote Maintenance
Checking the batteries periodically is one of the easiest ways to maintain your remote. If your batteries are working but weak, you may notice a reduction in the range where your remote will trigger the response from the opener.
Get more life out of your remote by:
Resetting The Remote
Occasionally resetting the remote by removing the batteries for approximately 30 seconds should reboot the circuit boards in many cases.
Keep The IR Unit Clean
Wiping off the IR unit with a soft, damp cloth will help keep your remote working for longer.
Polish Battery Contacts
Polishing discolored battery contacts with fine-grit sandpaper will help ensure full power from the batteries reaches the circuit board in the remote.
And keep in mind that we provide professional garage door maintenance services for all components of your garage doors. By utilizing our ongoing inspections you can catch small issues before they turn into costly problems.

What You Need To Know About Garage Door Opener Remotes
There are three main types of openers used on residential garage doors. Chain drive is the most common. Belts instead of chains are used on belt drive openers. A screw drive opener rotates on a steel rod. It’s an appealing choice because it’s easier to maintain and has fewer components.
Garage door opener remotes include:
- Universal remote garage door openers
- Remotes with wireless keypads
- Keyless entry remotes
- Basic handheld opener remotes
Note: The number of buttons on a remote will determine how many devices it can control (e.g., one or two doors, your garage light).
5 Reasons Why Your Garage Door May Not Be Working
Some problems with residential garage doors like broken springs or cables are fairly easy to spot. Yet there are other possible reasons why your garage door may not be functioning as expected or not operating at all. Before calling on our experts, consider some of the reasons why your garage door may not be working.
- Transmitter batteries are dead: If it’s been awhile since you’ve changed your transmitter batteries (or you never have), this might be the problem.
- Photo eyes are out of alignment: Located on each side of your garage door, photo eyes sometimes get dirty. Also, check to see if the photo eyes are still aligned properly.
- Debris buildup on the tracks: If your garage door stops before closing and goes back up, it may be due to the buildup of debris on the tracks. Also, make sure there isn’t anything physically blocking the door.
- Limit settings need adjusting: Another reason why your garage door may be going back up instead of fully closing (or staying closed) is that the limit range needs to be adjusted or reset. The knobs and dials for this task are on the garage door motor.
- The disconnect switch is unhooked: Every garage door has a disconnect switch so you can close/open your door if your power is out. If this switch becomes unhooked, it could cause your door to become disconnected from its motor.
