My garage door will not go down.
In instances where your garage door will not go down, the most common problem that in our experience with garage doors not going down is that the photoelectric safety sensors, also called safety reversing sensors or photo eyes, are out of alignment.
The lights keep blinking on my garage door opener and the door will not go down.
When you press the button on your garage door to get the door to go down, and the door only goes down part way and you see that the lights on the garage door opener starts to blink, then that typically means that’s the photo safety eyes are out of alignment. The best solution is to make sure that each of the safety eyes are powered on and are pointing directly at each other. If you’ve made those two checks, then you should contact us to come out for a service call.

How often should I have my garage door serviced?
If you have a wooden garage door, then we suggest servicing the door every six months. The reason that wooden garage doors need more maintenance than steel garage doors is that the nuts and bolts that hold your garage door together can easily become loose through normal operation, and should be checked and tightened on a regular basis. If you have a steel garage door, then we recommend having your door serviced once a year.
