Opener Remote control fails to work
If your remote control has failed to work, the issues might be related to dead batteries. This is a particularly common concern. Make sure to check them out quickly before you call the services of a professional company. Of course, there might be an interference of the frequencies or some other issues, which would require the services of a professional.
Grinding noises: broken garage door gear or wear-out main shaft bearings
This is usually caused when your door gets out of track or when the teeth of the screw drive have been eaten out or worn up. The reasons, once again, might vary – from rails gone bad to broken hinges and loosened screws. An inspection is absolutely mandatory and it needs to be executed in the quickest possible manner.
