BLOG Troubleshooting Common Garage Door Problems with Coastline Garage Door, LLC's Expert Technicians Apr 04, 2024

1. Loud or Inconsistent Noise If your garage door is making loud or inconsistent noise when opening or closing, it could be due to loose hardware, worn rollers, or lack of lubrication. To address this issue, tighten any loose bolts and nuts, replace worn rollers, and lubricate the moving parts with a silicone-based lubricant.

2. Remote Control Malfunction If your garage door remote control is not working properly, check the batteries first. Replace the batteries and try again. If the issue persists, reprogram the remote control according to the manufacturer's instructions.

3. Garage Door Opener Not Responding If your garage door opener is not responding to commands, check the power source first. Make sure the opener is plugged in and that the circuit breaker has not tripped. If the power source is fine, check the photo-eye sensors located near the bottom of the door. Clean the sensors and realign them if necessary.

4. Uneven Closing or Opening If your garage door is closing or opening unevenly, it could be due to misaligned tracks or worn springs. Inspect the tracks for any obstructions and ensure they are properly aligned. If the springs are worn or damaged, contact Coastline Garage Door, LLC for professional spring replacement.

5. Slow Response Time If your garage door has a slow response time when opening or closing, it could be due to a malfunctioning opener or worn-out parts. Check the opener for any visible damage and replace it if necessary. Inspect the springs, rollers, and hinges for wear and tear, and replace them as needed.

6. Weather Stripping Damage If the weather stripping on your garage door is damaged or missing, it can lead to energy loss and security risks. Replace the weather stripping with a new seal to keep out drafts and pests.

7. Door Off Track If your garage door has come off track, do not attempt to force it back into place yourself. Contact Coastline Garage Door, LLC immediately for professional assistance. Attempting to fix a door off track without the proper tools and expertise can result in further damage.
