Why has my garage door opener stopped working?

The most common causes are dead remote batteries, unplugged or tripped power, misaligned safety sensors, a worn drive gear, or a burned-out motor. Tek Garage Door Repair diagnoses the real cause first, so you are not paying to replace parts that are fine.

Should I repair or replace my opener?

If your opener is under about 10 years old and the fix is minor, repair is the smart call. If it is old, loud, and lacks safety features, a new quiet opener may cost less over time. We give you an honest recommendation.

My remote works but the wall button does not — why?

That usually points to a wiring problem or a failing wall control, not the motor. It is an easy, low-cost fix in most cases.

Do you repair all opener brands?

Yes. We service LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman, Sommer, and every other major brand, plus older units.

The door reverses before it closes. Is that the opener?

Often it is the safety sensors, not the opener itself. Dirty or misaligned sensors tell the door to reverse. We realign and test them as part of the repair.
