It happens at the most inopportune times — you go out to your garage to leave in a hurry or fetch something quickly, and the garage door won’t open. Although you could try to handle this problem yourself, you’ll save time and stress by contacting a professional. Overhead Door Co. of Lycoming County, located in Williamsport, PA, is well-equipped to deal with all garage door-related problems and ready to handle these three common issues.

Dead Batteries

The first thing you should check when your garage door isn’t operating correctly is its transmitter and clicker batteries. The transmitter sends signals to your clicker to let the garage door know when it’s time to open. Check both before moving forward with your repairs.

Misaligned Tracks

If the garage door isn’t opening as it should, it could be out of alignment, preventing it from sitting properly on its track. Due to the heaviness of the door, this can cause serious problems. Call a professional to help you realign your garage doors so you don’t end up in a more serious situation.

Blocked Path

garage doorsGarage doors have sensors that prevent them from closing when something blocks their path. If your overhead door begins to lower but stops halfway through the process, chances are something is blocking the sensors. It could be something like the back end of your car as you’re pulling out or objects on the ground such as a bicycle or children’s toy. Clear anything blocking the sensor, and call a garage door service if the door still won’t shut all the way.

Like most technology, garage doors need repairs from time to time, and the genuine, the original Overhead Door Co. of Lycoming County offers an array of solutions. To schedule an appointment with their team, call (570) 326-4749. For a full list of available services and products, visit their website.
