Remote Controlled Garage Door: What to Do When It Fails

Remote controlled garage doors have made our lives easier but sometimes, they could be stressful too. Unfortunately, there is nothing easy about having to open a garage door by hand in the middle of a freezing winter season because the remote for the opener won’t work. Indeed, technologies become more complex, there are more and more ways in which they can break down.

There are quite a few things that could cause remote controlled garage doors to malfunction. First, check the batteries within the remote to be sure they still carry a charge powerful enough to operate the remote. If this doesn’t work, make sure to check the garage door parts. First, assess the door itself. Make sure that ice is not formed at the edges of the door or at the moving parts. You may also find dust and other formations that are the causes of malfunctions. The weather also contributes to the malfunctioning of remote controlled garage doors. Sensors are often involved in this situation. What happens when the weather turns, is that the steel which houses the sensors expand or contracts and distort the path of the sensor beam. If the beam was slightly misaligned in the first place, then the slight change in temperature of the metal will force the safety to kick in. you might want to clean the lenses and realign the sensors to fix the problem. If that doesn’t work, try rebooting the unit.

Another problem might be the control box; usually, a low or dead battery will prevent the remote from communicating with the receiver. Other components attached to the circuit board cannot be serviced. If this happens, it is very easy to find a replacement. Contact the manufacturer of the garage door opener. If this is not possible, universal garage door remotes can be of help for the mean time. However, manufacturers of the garage door openers discourage the use of such to reduce the security risks.  

Remote controlled garage doors increase the security in your home thus making things more complicated in repairs and maintenance. But as long as you follow the rules, problems less likely to happen.
