Q & A

Some manufacturers offer and extended range kit for garage door remotes which can be installed on the opener, but they do not always help.

The most common culprits of short range are bad remotes, weak batteries, and interference from other electronic devices nearby.

Also, LED light bulbs in garage door openers are an issue as they can interfere with the remote signals.

Changing a garage door spring is not a difficult job for a garage door technician.

However, garage door springs are under a significant amount of tension and can be very dangerous if they are not handled properly. In fact, we have been called to homes where the owner had to visit the emergency room after trying to change-out a broken garage door spring.

We suggest that homeowners DO NOT work on springs as a DIY project.

If you need new garage door springs, call us at (513) 821-5095.

There is no reset button on any of the modern units (since 1993), so that is probably not the issue.

The reason the garage door got stuck could be one of many things. The manual lock on the door may have been accidentally engaged, or the hardware on the door may need to be adjusted or replaced.

Rollers may be worn out and locked up or you could have a broken spring on the door or bad motor on the opener.

Regardless of the reason, you’re going to have to call and have someone inspect the garage door and make repairs.
