What causes motor failure in garage doors?

Motor failure in garage doors can result from several factors: Age and Wear - Most garage door openers last 10-15 years with regular use. Power Surges - Electrical storms and power fluctuations can damage motor circuits. Overheating - Running the door too frequently or operating it when obstructed causes overheating. Lack of Maintenance - Doors that are out of balance or lack lubrication force the motor to work harder. Incorrect Door Weight - If springs are not properly adjusted, the motor strains to lift the door. Moisture and Humidity - Florida's climate can cause rust and corrosion in motor components.

What should I do if my garage door won't close?

If your garage door will not close, try these troubleshooting steps: 1) Check the Sensors - Ensure nothing is blocking the photo-eye sensors at the bottom of the door. Clean the lenses with a soft cloth. 2) Check Alignment - The sensor lights should be solid (not blinking). Adjust if misaligned. 3) Test the Wall Button - If the door closes when holding the wall button but not with the remote, sensors are likely the issue. 4) Inspect the Tracks - Look for debris, damage, or obstructions. 5) Check the Springs - If the door feels heavy or will not stay up, springs may be broken (do NOT attempt to fix these yourself). If these steps do not resolve the issue, call us at (941) 206-3778 for emergency service.
