Frequently Asked Questions About Garage Door Opener Repair
Why is my garage door opener running but the door won’t move?
If your opener motor is running but the door doesn’t move, the most likely cause is a broken spring or snapped cable. The opener simply can’t lift the full weight of the door without spring assistance. Stop operating the opener and call us — continuing to run it can burn out the motor.
Why does my garage door open but won’t close?
This is almost always a safety sensor issue. The sensors near the bottom of your door tracks send a beam across the opening — if that beam is blocked or the sensors are misaligned, the door won’t close. Check that nothing is blocking the sensors and that both sensor lights are solid (not blinking).
Why is my garage door remote not working?
Start with the basics — replace the battery. If that doesn’t fix it, the remote may need to be reprogrammed to your opener. If neither works, the problem could be with the opener’s receiver board. Call us and we’ll diagnose it quickly.
How long do garage door openers last?
Most garage door openers last 10–15 years with normal use. If your opener is making grinding noises, responding slowly, or requiring frequent repairs, it may be more cost-effective to replace it than keep repairing it. We’ll give you an honest recommendation.
How much does garage door opener repair cost?
Opener repair in St. Louis typically costs $100–$200 depending on the issue. Simple fixes like sensor alignment or remote reprogramming are on the lower end. Circuit board replacement or full opener replacement costs more. We always provide upfront pricing before starting work.
What opener brands do you repair?
We repair all major brands including LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman, Ryobi, and more. If you’re not sure what brand you have, just call us — we can usually identify it from a description or photo.
