Quick checks
- Does the wall button work? If yes, replace the remote battery.
- Are the floor sensors lined up and clean?
- Is the opener plugged in, and is the breaker on?
- Does the motor hum while the door stays still? Stop, and check for a broken spring first. Don't keep running it.

Who answers when you call
This website is run by the operator of this site. We are not a repair company. We connect you with a licensed local garage door company that has agreed in writing to the promises on this page, and we tell you its name before anyone comes out.
Your request goes to one company, not three. We never sell your details to a list of contractors.
