AUTOMATIC DOORS REPAIR: WHAT TO
DO WHEN YOUR GARAGE DOOR WON'T
OPEN?
In order to ensure that the transmitter is causing problems, you should first access the
transmitter on the wall inside of your garage. Press it and see if it makes your
garage door to work. If it is working, it implies that the transmitter in your car needs
to be changed. A simple battery replacement will do the job here. Sometimes, you
may have multiple car transmitters to make your garage work. You can use others,
but keep in mind that they will soon be dead too, so it is better to have them all
changed at once.
In case the transmitter on the garage door is not working, you may consider
changing the batteries first. This does not have to be a tricky task either. On the
back of the transmitter, you will find a sliding door. Open it up to gain access to the
battery. Remove it and place a new one there. Some transmitters have screws. You
will have to unscrew them to replace the battery – a regular screwdriver will work
just fine here. While removing and replacing the batteries, pay special attention to
the plus and minus signs on the transmitter. If you do not insert batteries correctly,
the transmitter will not work. It could also make you think that something else is
wrong, which could cause serious trouble.
