Garage Door Openers 101
When your garage door opener gets old and loud it’s a huge nuisance to you and the rest of the neighborhood.

Signs You Need to Replace Your Garage Door Opener
An old garage door opener that starts to fail presents new safety risks. Your garage door secures the valuables inside your home and when its faulty that means anyone can get inside the home. Plus the last thing you want to deal with on a busy day is trouble accessing the garage.
Loud Unexpected Noises from Your Garage Door
We know that garage doors aren’t usually the silent type and always make some sort of sound when in use. But as time goes on and the engine loses power the doors start to struggle and make even louder sounds. You may even notice the springs and other parts become noisy as well despite having enough power to open.
Your Garage Door Doesn’t Open and Close Effectively
Garage door openers aim to quickly open and close the garage door without any trouble. If you notice the door is struggling to open and close even after the opener’s battery is replaced and connected properly. If you’ve reconnected everything and checked the batteries and the opener still struggles you should consider a replacement.
Slow Movement & Unusual Vibration
Your garage door opens and closes but the speed gets slower over time. Unusually slow movement can indicate a faulty opener that will need to be replaced. If it struggles or even stops partially open or closed you will need to call Garage Headquarters as soon as possible. This paired with strong and unusual vibration indicates the garage door opener’s engine losing power.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I install a garage door opener on my own or do I need a professional?
A: While a DIY installation for a garage door opener is possible it is highly recommended to use a professional service if you don’t have prior experience. Wiring and calibration require professional tools and lack of experience can pose major safety concerns without some supervision.
Q: Will I need a new garage door if I just need to replace the opener?
A: No you do not need to replace the entire system if you are just installing a new opener. Replacing just the opener is often seen as a common and more cost-effective solution given that your existing door and tracks are in good condition.
Q: How soon can you replace my garage door opener in Rhode Island?
A: In most cases Garage Headquarters is able to do same-day service for homeowners in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Our office is appointment only but we take calls online and have the most licensed technicians employed in the area.
