The photo is a chain-drive opener on a garage ceiling. It is a parts-and-hardware picture, not a claim about a job in Shreveport or Louisiana.

Symptoms

• The remote does nothing and the wall button does nothing.
• The light blinks and the door will not move.
• The motor hums and the door stays still. That is often a broken spring, not a dead motor.
• The door starts down and reverses.
• Grinding from the rail, or a chain that hangs loose.

Quick checks before you call

1. Try the wall button, not only the remote.
2. Look at the photo eyes near the floor. Both should be aimed, and the small lights should be steady. Wipe the lenses if they are fogged.
3. If the door feels extremely heavy, stop. That is a spring. Do not force the opener.

Opener light blinking

A blink code points at sensors, travel limits, or the logic board. Write down how many blinks you see and tell us on the call. We do not guess a board is bad from the blink alone, and we do not post a price for a new opener here.

Remotes and keypads are on the keypads and sensors page. If the door is heavy, start with springs.

FAQ

My remotes stopped working. Is that the opener?

Sometimes. Try the wall button first. If the wall button works, it may be the remote or the keypad. If nothing works, or the motor only hums, call and describe it.

Why does the door reverse at the floor?

Photo eyes, the down-force setting, or something in the way of the seal. Do not keep overriding it. A door that hits the floor and pops back up needs a look.

Should I replace the opener or repair it?

We say which one after we hear the symptom and see the unit. A humming opener on a heavy door needs a spring, not a new motor. You get the choice before work starts.

Why is the opener light blinking?

It is a code. Count the blinks and tell us when you call 318-478-9963. Sensors are the common cause. A heavy door is the one to rule out first.

What happens when you call

1. Call 318-478-9963. Say Shreveport, LA or the city you are in.
2. Describe what the door is doing. Up, down, or stuck partway. A bang, a loose cable, a dead remote. If a car is stuck or the house is open, say so.
3. Get a free phone estimate and a time. We say what it sounds like and when someone can come. The repair is quoted again before any work starts. If today is not realistic, we say so.
