Modern, Quiet, Safe and Secure

Garage door opener issues often show early warning signs before complete failure. Identifying these problems early can help prevent unexpected breakdowns and reduce strain on other garage door components.

• Motor hums but the door does not move

• Opener makes grinding, rattling, or unusual noises

• Opener vibrates excessively during operation

• Motor runs intermittently or stops unexpectedly

• Remote or wall button triggers delayed or inconsistent movement

• Door moves slower than normal

• Door stops halfway or fails to complete a cycle

• Garage door reverses unexpectedly

• Safety sensors prevent the door from closing

Not all of these issues indicate a broken motor. In many cases, components like springs or cables may be the real culprit. A professional inspection of both the opener and the garage door system is often needed to make an accurate diagnosis. At Doorgi Garage Doors, when an opener is failing or broken, we almost always recommend replacement rather than repair. Modern replacement openers are safer, quieter, and more reliable, often with enhanced features like smartphone control and improved security. Professional installation ensures your door operates correctly and reliably for years to come. We recommend the LiftMaster openers above, however we will gladly service and install any opener you provide. If you think your motor is failing, click to learn more about failing openers.
