Another problem that can prevent a garage door from working is a garage door opener problem.

If you live in FAIRFIELD COUNTY, D&D Garage Doors can be at your place today, so there is no need to use a broken or damaged garage door.

Is the reason the door is not working in necessarily the motor?

Before we determine if the problem is really an opener problem, we need to examine the door first.  As we explained earlier, in the “garage door spring repair in Greenwich” section, a garage door in Greenwich CT should work smoothly and should be opened and closed easily without the opener. If there is a problem when you use the door manually, the door should not be used with the opener. We will repeat it: Whether it is garage door in Greenwich, or garage door in Stamford, if there is something wrong with the door it should not be used.
If there is a problem with the garage door itself, the opener may also not work. The opener’s part in lifting and lowering the door is a small part, when the biggest part is being done by the spring system. When the spring’s system work fine, and there is no problem with the door, then we can move forward to inspect the opener itself. If you are not sure, call a local garage door company in Greenwich to come and inspect the door for you. If you live in FAIRFIELD COUNTY, D&D Garage Doors can be there today and provide you will full garage door inspection.

Garage Door Sensors Repairs Greenwich

One of the garage door problem we see every day when servicing garage doors in Greenwich is a garage door safety sensor issue. This problem that can rise on every given day, and even if the opener was recently installed, is a problem with safety sensors. The safety sensors are there for safety reasons, and should not be removed under any circumstances. They are there for the protection of you and your family, and removing them can lead to serious injuries. A safety sensors removal is against the law, which require that every electric garage door, commercial or residential till include a safety feature, which will stop the door and reverse it in case someone will cross the door’s path. If you own an automated garage door in Greenwich Connecticut, and there is no safety feature installed, or if the sensors are not installed properly, contact D&D Garage Doors or any local garage door supplier in FAIRFIELD COUNTY Connecticut to come and take care of it for you. As we mentioned earlier, using an electric garage door with no safety feature is both dangerous and illegal and it does not matter if it an electric garage door in Stamford or automatic garage door in Greenwich.

Safety sensors troubleshooting (DIY)

If there is a problem with the safety sensors, the opener will not work. If the opener does not get a signal form the sensors that “tell” the opener that the entrance is clear, and that it is safe to close, the opener will not close the door. If the sensors are not aligned, if the cable is nor connected, if the sensor is broken or damaged, if there is dirt on the lens, if someone moved the sensor by mistake, the opener will not close the door. In that case you can look by yourself, and try to locate the problem. If you are unable to repair it. Contact D&D Garage Doors for a same day service in Greenwich.
