DEALING WITH COMMON GARAGE DOOR PROBLEMS

A GARAGE DOOR THAT FAILS TO CLOSE ALL THE WAY

Improper settings prevent the garage door from closing all the way. Have you checked the correct settings? If that doesn’t solve the issue, lubricate any dry or rusted rollers.
MALFUNCTIONING WALL SWITCHES
70% of malfunctioning wall switches occur due to a break in the power supply line. A garage wall switch can only operate when there is a consistent power supply. i. Is the motor unit unplugged by mistake? ii. Is the circuit breaker burned out? Working with power supplies is dangerous. Leave the job to Bay area garage door repair personnel as they are better trained and equipped to run a complete wiring diagnosis and prevent the issue from recurring.
A GARAGE DOOR REVERSING BEFORE IT COMPLETELY CLOSES
80% of such cases are related to misaligned sensors Garage doors are fitted with sensors at the bottom that prevent it from closing over a pet, a child or an item left on the ground. Realigning the sensors generally does the trick. Additionally, check for any debris on the sensors that might trigger the garage door to roll back before it completely closes.
