TIP: Your garage door is the largest moving part in your home and is used several times a day. Eventually, garage door and garage door opener parts will wear out and break. In addition to conducting your own maintenance and safety inspections, you should have your garage door and opener professionally serviced every 6-12 months to increase the lifetime of your automatic garage door. A properly working automatic garage door will help to ensure the safety of your family and property.

TIP: Children playing with the automatic garage door opener(s) can lead to accidental injury or property damage. You should educate your family about the danger of playing with your garage door openers automatic controls. Certified Garage Door Inc. recommends that all remote controls should remain out of reach of children. Additionally, you’re wall-mounted controls and keypads are a minimum of (5) five feet above your garage floor so they are not easily within reach of small children.

TIP: A faulty garage door reversing mechanism on your garage door opener could harm your family or your property if they are underneath a closing garage door. Newer garage door openers have a photo eye reversing mechanism. Reversing mechanisms can either be activated by breaking the beam between the two photo eyes located at the base of the garage door tracks, or by applying enough resistance on the moving door to engage the reversing mechanism. Certified Garage Door Inc recommends that you have your garage door opener professionally installed and perform monthly maintenance and safety inspections to ensure safe operation of your garage door and garage door opener.

How can we get the door opener to start working properly again?

It sounds like the photo cell’s safety beam is either blocked or out of alignment. Move any objects that may be interfering with the signal and verify that the photo-cell’s LED lights are illuminated. If the infrared beams are not blocked and the photo-cells appear that they are aligned, then contact your local garage door service technician to diagnose and repair the problem. You will not be able to close the door with the remote control transmitter until the photo-cells are working properly.
