Do you need to repair or replace your garage door remote clicker? If your garage door is not working properly, it can be very frustrating. Your vehicle can be trapped inside the garage and you won't be able to get out of the house on time. A broken clicker or remote control can be a reason why garage doors fail to function. Never worry, because we are here to provide professional garage door remote repair.

Common Remote Control Problems

The remote control or clicker functions because the door opener sends an infrared signal remotely to the receiver which in turn triggers a switch, prompting the electric motor to open the garage door or close it. Before the remote works, it has to be within range of the IR-signal sending strength. You can seek help from our garage door repair provider if it does not function even if it is at the specified range. Weak or dead batteries is the most common problem with a remote control. If this is the only problem, then it easy to fix because you just need new batteries. You may also opt for rechargeable batteries to prevent this problem.

Worn or wet contacts inside the battery case inhibit the electrical current from fully reaching the circuit board in the remote control. If the contacts seem discolored, or wet, they have to be dried and cleaned for the battery to properly power the remote control. The eye or plastic covering over the infrared or IR signal, on both the remote control and receiving unit, allows the signal to pass through them. This can be wiped off using a damp cloth. Cleaning the eyes can remove light scratches. The clickers and receivers function like small computers. Resetting them is sometimes needed to reboot the circuit boards. It is done by removing the batteries in the clicker for a few seconds and reinstalling them. The receiver is reset by unplugging the unit from the socket for a few seconds and plugging it back.
