It
seems the main problems people have with their garage doors is actually their
garage door openers. Which makes sense, as these mechanisms have the most parts
and the most potentially faulty systems. It may seem overwhelming to repair or
troubleshoot a garage door opener, bit if you can identify the major problem,
it’s possible to figure it out from there.
The
very first question you should ask yourself is- is the problem with the door
itself, or with the mechanisms of the opener? If it’s the latter, you’ll need
to gather yourself some tools to do the job.
Just
like any small moving accessory, garage door openers are liable to break down
after a little while. Replacement parts are usually available at hardware
stores, or you can purchase them online. You’ll probably also need a screwdriver, a wrench, oil or WD40
(depending on the material the parts are made of), and a tall glass of lemonade
with iced tea. We recommend, as tempting as it is, NOT to spike your drink.
The
basic process is this- identify which parts need replacement, detach and
deactivate the machine, pull the old parts out, and put the new parts in.
Garage
door opener manufacturers can have lots of helpful hints about the inner
workings of your garage door (though you may not be able to implement or even
understand them on your own!) They can let you know about how to open/close or
detach the opener mechanism from the door. They can help you with the safety
reversing sensors that most garage doors these days are equipped with.
If
safety sensors in a garage door are miswired or not aligned properly, or if you
have somehow manages to blow a
fuse or a wire, you have to make sure to realign or reconnect them. The door
may attempt to close and reverse, and then the opener light bulb will flash
over and over. However, if you have a wall-push button, applying pressure will
fully close the door in most occasions.
These
sensors tend to be special electronic beams that are passed between two sender ‘eyes’
that use the laws of electromagnetism to send messages. They themselves might
also need adjusting or might incur damage, so if you’re experiencing problems
with your safety mechanisms, these may be the culprits. Check the indicator lights to see if
they are working.
In West Los Angeles on
Tuesday, a woman was charged by police with several offenses, including but not
limited to driving while intoxicated and destruction of property. Authorities
found her Hummer smashed into the garage door of one of her neighbors. She was
uninjured, but the garage door itself was destroyed.
Apparently, Tuesday morning
at 4:30 AM, a patrolman received an anonymous tip that someone was driving and
‘weaving all over the place’ on Mountaingate Road near the 405, and had already
smashed into a fence.
Officers responded to the
call, and the caller then provided an address on Wilhemina Road, a small
sul-de-sac that the vehicle turned into. When police arrived on the scene, the
vehicle has already collided with the garage door ofan innocent homeowner near the end of the road.Inside the house, the perpetrator was
unconscious on a couch.
When she came to, she was
slurring her speech and had difficulty maintaining balance while walking. She
was arrested, and charged with five different counts, including driving while
intoxicated, failure to report a crash, reckless endangerment, and leaving the
scene.
What the police don’t mention is the sad destruction to the
entrance of someone’s home. Guess they’ll have to turn to garage door service
people to sympathize with their plight- the door was a brand-new wooden
masterpiece with windows and a gorgeous varnish.
Luckily, they had purchased insurance when they had it
installed.

A
lot of garage door installation people and garage door services companies do
not want to discuss the removal of a garage door with customers. They strongly
admonish customers not to attempt to remove doors themselves, and to call in a
professional.
While
this is probably generally good advice, many groups don’t even want to give the
basic idea. The truth is, you do risk your safety if you’re an untrained person
trying to get rid fo a door, but you deserve to now what the process is like,
so you know if you’re getting taken advantage of when you call in the
professionals.
We
have talked a lot about the mechanics of garage door repair and replacement on
this blog- if you search past entries, you’ll see lots of explanations of this
process.
But
the general idea is that:
1.
you need more than one person
2.
disconnect the garage door opener first!
3.
disconnect wires and bolts.
4.
raise the door, and clamp down the opener track to make sure it stays this way.
5.
disconnect springs and cables WITH CAUTION. This is the most dangerous stage.
