Garage Door Openers Richmond, BC
When a garage door opener hums, clicks, reverses or does nothing, the cause is often the sensors, the remote or the power, not the motor. We test each part in order, repair what can be repaired, and install a new opener when the old one is done.

How garage door openers fail in Richmond homes
An opener is a motor, a rail and a set of safety parts. It guides a door the springs have already balanced. So when an opener strains, we check the door first, because a broken spring makes even a new opener struggle. Then we look at the opener itself during an opener repair.
The most common call is a door that starts down and then goes back up. The photo-eye sensors near the floor cannot see each other: they are wet, dusty or bumped. Wiping the lenses and checking that both lights are steady fixes many of these. If the remote is the problem, a new garage door remote is a small job.
If the opener and the garage lights went out together in a storm, check BC Hydro power outages before you call; the opener may come back with the power. The red emergency cord lets you lift a balanced door by hand. If the door feels very heavy, stop and read emergency garage door repair.
Choosing a new garage door opener in Richmond
When an opener is worn out, a new one is often better value than another repair. A belt drive opener is quiet, which matters when a bedroom sits over the garage. A chain drive opener is strong and simple for a detached garage. We handle the opener installation, wiring and programming.
Keeping an older opener? Search the Government of Canada recalls site for your model first; openers do appear there. We work on the common brands, including LiftMaster, Chamberlain and Genie.

Garage door opener questions in Richmond
What Richmond homeowners ask about openers. More questions? Contact us.
Why does my opener run but the door does not move?
Often the trolley was disconnected with the emergency release, or a gear inside has stripped. Reconnect the trolley; if it still does not move, book an opener repair.
Can you program my car or a new remote?
Yes. We set up remotes and keypads while we are there, and show you how to add more later.
Is a belt drive opener worth it?
If a bedroom or living room sits over the garage, many people find the quieter belt drive worth it. In a detached garage a chain drive is usually fine.
Repair or new opener?
If the motor still runs smoothly, a repair usually makes sense. Very old openers without working safety sensors are worth replacing. We tell you plainly which applies.
