Finding Solutions: DIY Fixes vs Professional Repairs

If you're comfortable using basic tools around your house, many minor issues with your garage door opener can be fixed at home itself. For example - replacing batteries in remotes or realigning safety sensors usually does not warrant professional help.

• Battery Replacement: This is probably one of the simplest fixes when dealing with unresponsive remotes but often overlooked because we forget that even small gadgets run out of juice sometimes.
• Safety Sensors Alignment: If both lights on each sensor are not lit, it means they're out of alignment. This is usually a quick fix - just gently push them until both lights glow steadily.

But if you encounter more complex issues like broken gears or motor malfunctioning, then that's where we come in. At Michael Garage Doors, our skilled professionals can help diagnose and fix any problem related to your garage door opener swiftly and efficiently.
