The opener doesn’t lift the door. The springs do. If your opener strains, the door feels very heavy by hand, or it only lifts a few inches, the real problem may be a broken spring. Stop running the opener, since it can burn out the motor or strip the gears. See torsion spring repair.
Before you call
Quick opener checks you can do safely
Is it plugged in? Test the outlet with a lamp or phone charger, and check the breaker.
Try the wall button. If it works but the remote doesn’t, it’s probably the remote.
Turn off the lock / vacation button on the wall control.
Swap the batteries in the remote or keypad.
If someone pulled the red release cord (often after a power outage), reconnect it with the door fully closed.
Look at the safety sensors near the floor. Both lights should be on and solid.
Why does my opener hum or run but the door doesn’t move?
Usually one of two things: the red emergency release was pulled and the trolley is unhooked, or a gear, belt or chain inside the opener is stripped or broken. With the door fully closed, check whether the trolley on the rail is latched. If it is, stop running the opener and text a photo to (808) 600-8393.
Can you install an opener I already bought?
Yes. We install customer-supplied openers as well as the Chamberlain openers we supply.
What openers do you install?
Chamberlain belt drive and chain drive openers with built-in WiFi. Many models also include a built-in camera.
Can I open my garage door from my phone?
Yes, with a WiFi opener. You can open, close and check your door from anywhere, and some models let you see inside your garage too.
Should I repair my old opener or replace it?
It depends on what’s wrong and how old it is. We’re never commission-based and never push products you don’t need, so we’ll give you a straight answer.
Do you work on commercial door openers?
No. ZS Overhead Doors works on residential garage doors and openers only.
This page is general information. Every door and opener is different, so if in doubt, leave it to a licensed technician.
