My garage door is opening only halfway.
If your garage door is only opening halfway, it is possibly an issue with your electric opener. Something could be wrong with the limit switches, which are settings that tell the garage door opener when to stop. An incorrectly programmed limit switch could prevent the door from opening or closing all the way. It could also cause the door to open again after hitting the ground. The key to fixing these problems is to reset the limit switches.

I heard a loud bang coming from my garage door.
You likely have a broken garage door spring. Do not attempt to try to lift the door because you could hurt yourself. Also, do not try to use the opener to try to open a door with a broken
spring. Replacing garage door springs is not a do it yourself project; replacement requires
special tools and techniques to prevent injury. A garage door spring has a limited number of times it can be used before it will break. Changes in weather also may accelerate the need to replace a garage door spring.

My garage door is tilted on an angle and doesn’t open or close. There is a good chance your garage door cable is either broken or has fallen off. There are many reasons this could happen, including the impact of a vehicle or wear and tear. Don’t try to fix it yourself. The garage door is very heavy, and you could hurt yourself.

I am locked out of my garage.
If you have a vaulted garage, that means there is no side entrance. You only have one way into your garage, and that is through the garage door. It is essential to install a lock on your door if this is your situation. DGH Doors technicians have the experience and knowledge always to find a way into your garage.

My garage door is not closing or starting to close and going back up.
Garage doors not closing or starting to close and going back up is our most common phone call. The good news is this is likely the most straightforward issue to solve. You could have a problem with your garage door photo-eyes or safety sensors. You want to make sure your photo-eyes (sensors at the bottom of the garage door) are clean and pointed directly at one another. Look for two solid green lights.

My garage door is stuck to the ground.
Winter in Ontario can cause problems with garage doors. Try heavily salting the bottom of the door to see if it unfreezes it or consider installing a new garage door that has a thick bottom rubber that is designed to avoid freezing. 

I hear my garage door opener working, but the door is not moving.
DGH Doors can service nearly any garage door opener. It often makes sense to replace your operator as opposed to getting it repaired. If your garage door opener is making noise, but the door is not moving, make sure your door is not set to manual (look at the hookup arm). You may also need to get your garage door gear replaced.

DGH Doors recommends you lubricate and maintain your garage door.  Try to lubricate it with JIG-A-LOO lubricant from Canadian Tire. If that doesn’t work, give DGH Doors a ring and book a service call.
