If it’s difficult to operate overhead doors using the garage opener, there’s likely something wrong with the equipment. It’s tempting to continue to use the device — especially with greater applied force — but you’d only be ignoring the signs that it’s time to invest in a new device. 

3 Signs You Need a New Garage Opener For Overhead Doors 

1. Overhead Doors Won’t Open & Close 

If you press thWilliamsport-Pennsylvania-overhead-doorse garage remote, but the overhead doors won’t budge or struggle to move, the device might have a circuit problem. In this case, the remote can’t send signals to the door transmitter to kick the motor mechanism into gear. 

2. Device Produces Loud Noises When Used 

If the garage opener makes screeching or grinding sounds when you press it, the inner components could be damaged. If you have an older model, it’s best to just replace it. New openers come equipped with built-in lights, advanced safety settings, and additional features to keep you, and your property, protected. 

3. Outdated Technology 

If you recently installed new overhead doors, the old opener might not have the capabilities to accept the receiver’s rolling code technology. You can program a new remote to work with the system.
