When the opener won't play along

An opener that hums, stalls or ignores the remote is frustrating, but it doesn't always mean a new motor. Sometimes the fix is a worn gear or a loose trolley. Sometimes the opener is fine and the real problem is a broken spring, which throws the door's weight onto the motor so it can't lift. We check the whole system before we recommend anything, so you're never sold a replacement you didn't need.

The motor runs or hums but the door won't lift, what's going on?

Usually a worn drive gear, the release cord left disengaged, or a broken spring throwing the door's weight onto the motor. We test all of it on site before recommending anything, and the diagnosis is free.

My garage door remote stopped working, is the opener broken?

Not always. Start with fresh batteries and check the safety sensors near the floor are clear and lined up. If it still won't respond, the receiver may need reprogramming or the remote may be faulty. We'll find which on site.

The opener runs but the chain or belt doesn't move, why?

That's usually a worn drive gear or a trolley that's come loose on the rail. It's a common repair and often fixable without replacing the whole opener. We'll tell you straight which it is.

What's the difference between a chain-drive and belt-drive opener?

Chain-drive openers are durable and economical but a bit noisier. Belt-drive openers run much quieter, which is ideal if the garage sits under a bedroom or shares a wall. We'll talk you through what suits your home.

How much does opener repair or replacement cost?

It depends on the opener and whether it's a repair or a replacement, so we won't guess before we've seen it. The callout, quote and diagnosis are all free, and you get the full price upfront before we start.

We repair openers right across the Gold Coast, Tweed Coast, Byron Shire, Ballina and Lismore, from Southport down to Ballina.
