When I push the remote, my garage door does not open. Why?

The most common reasons are dead batteries, misaligned photo eyes (safety sensors), or broken springs. If batteries are fine, contact a professional. Never try to fix broken springs yourself.

How frequently should our garage door be serviced (Tune-Up)?

Experts recommend scheduling a garage door tune-up once a year. With the average door opening and closing almost 1,500 times annually, regular maintenance is essential to keep all dozens of moving parts running smoothly and safely.

Why is my garage door so loud (Squeaking or Grinding)?

Your garage door is loud often because of dry or worn components like chains, springs, or rollers. Maintaining the parts can help avoid problems. We recommend annual inspections by licensed professionals who can lubricate moving mechanisms and check for tightness against corrosion risks.

What caused a crack in my garage door panel?

Cracks often develop if the door is opening and closing incorrectly. Common causes include: * Springs are too weak, causing the opener to apply too much force. * Incorrect settings on the opener's limit switches. * The arm of the opener comes into contact with the strut. We offer damaged panel replacement.

Is there any way to make my noisy door quieter?

Applying a little spray-on garage door lubricant (not WD-40) to the hinges and springs will help reduce squeaking and clicking sounds. The pros at Champion Garage Doors & Solutions can also perform a full system tune-up, including roller inspection and alignment, to ensure all components are working properly.
