Now here is another easy fix for you to consider. If you are trying to open your garage door when you are around the corner from your home instead of in front of your home, you may not get the desired results you want. This is because the remote can’t communicate with doors opener. There is a specified range that you will need to be within in order for the remote to correctly work to open your door. You might assume that the problem you’re experiencing has something to do with your door when in actuality, it is your remote and not the door. An easy fix is to only attempt to open your door when you are within range of your opener. This will ensure that the door open when you need it to.

If you’re still having trouble with the door opening, the problem may be that your garage antenna is blocking the signals. You can keep hitting the open button on your remote while sitting in front of your garage and still, nothing! This means something is obstructing the signal. We usually find that it is something as simple as the garage antenna. This is easy to resolve simply by moving the antenna away from the opener.

Since a garage has moving parts, even troubleshooting can put you in harms way. This is why we encourage you to call us to help you with your service needs.
