Signs it’s time

  • It’s 10 years old or more. The manufacture date is on the label on the motor unit.
  • No battery backup, so the door is stuck when the power goes out during a storm.
  • It’s a loud chain drive and the garage is next to a bedroom.
  • No WiFi or Bluetooth, so you can’t check or close the door from your phone.
  • It strains, reverses, or needs repeated presses to work.

Check the spring first. A broken spring makes any opener struggle, and a new opener won’t fix it. How to check.
