How Garage Door Openers Break
Isolating the problem with your garage door opener can be a time-consuming, complicated process. It is necessary to hire a garage door expert to diagnose and repair the problem when you can’t figure it out. First Coast Garage Doors is your source for garage door opener repair in Jacksonville. Some garage door opener repairs are easier to diagnose than others. Below are some common garage door opener issues:
- Malfunctioning Safety Eye
- Malfunctioning Opening/Closing Limiter
- Broken Safety Reversal
- Improper Placement of Control Mechanisms in the Motor
- Bent Motor Activation Arm
1- Malfunctioning Safety Eye:
The photoelectric safety eye is very useful and essential for your garage door. They are designed to make the garage door go up but can be a problem if they are malfunctioning; it is difficult to close the door.
2- Malfunctioning Opening/Closing Limiter:
Garage door opener limit switches tell the motor that lifts and lowers the garage door when to stop running. Garage door opener limiter switches may prevent your garage door from closing and opening properly.
3- Broken safety reversal:
You must check your safety reversal system every month; you check your garage door to see if the garage door is fully open or reverses properly. If the door stops on the barrier, it is not travelling enough inches down to the lower level. If the opener again and again fails the safety reversal test, you need to call the experts. Because it is a serious cause of injury or death by closing of the garage door.
4- Improper Placement of Control Mechanisms in the Motor:
You check your garage door motor mechanisms properly every month. Look at your garage door spring, pulley, cables, and roller to see if they work properly. If these things are not working properly, you need to repair your garage door.
5- Bent Motor Activation Arm:
The bent motor activation arm spins the pulley that moves the trolley along the rail to raise and lower the garage door. If the bent motor arm cannot work properly, it creates a problem for opening and closing the garage door.
