Safety sensors
A Parker garage door that reverses or will not close
An opener closes the door only while two small sensors, one on each side of the opening near the floor, can see each other. If the beam between them is broken or they no longer line up, the door stops and goes back up.
Out of line
A sensor that has been knocked, or has slipped on its bracket, no longer points at the one across from it. The pair is realigned.
Something in the beam
Anything in the opening, even a box or bin set close to the track, stops the door.
A failed sensor or wire
A sensor that has stopped working, or a damaged wire between it and the opener, keeps the door from closing. The sensor or the wire is replaced.
Reverses after touching the floor
If the door reaches the floor and then goes back up, the fault is in the opener settings or in the door, not in the sensors.
Stops and reverses partway
A door that meets resistance in its track, from a worn roller or bent track, can trip the opener into reversing. That is repaired at the door.
The sensors
What can stop the sensors seeing each other
Indicator lights
On sensors with small lights, a steady light means the pair is lined up. A dark or blinking light on one side points to that sensor or its wire.
Dust or a web on the lens
A lens coated in dust, a cobweb or a spider nest can block the beam as well as any box. The door reverses with the opening clear.
Direct sun
Low sun shining straight into the receiving sensor can blind it for part of the day, and the door reverses only at those hours.
Controls
The remote or the wall button does nothing
Remote works, wall button does not
The wall button, its wire to the opener, or the connection at the opener has failed.
Wall button works, remote does not
The fault is in the remote, in its link to the opener, or in the receiver inside the opener.
Neither one works
The opener is not getting power, is not taking any signal, or has a failed board.
Closes only while the button is held
If the door goes down only while you keep the wall button pressed, the opener is reporting a sensor fault. The sensors are repaired, not the button.
Wall button light is out
On a lighted wall button, a dark light points to the wire between the button and the opener or to the button itself.
Remote works only up close
A remote that only opens the door from a few feet away points to a weak remote battery or to the antenna on the opener.
Describing the fault when you book
Say what happens when you press the wall button, what happens with the remote, whether the opener light comes on, and whether the door starts to close and then turns back. Say too whether it turns back only when a car or a person is near the opening, or with the opening clear.
The opener
When the fault is in the opener
Travel and force settings
An opener has settings for how far the door travels and how hard it pushes before it reverses. Settings that have drifted are reset.
A failed board
Where the board that holds the settings has failed, the board is replaced, or the opener is if it cannot be repaired.
After a power outage
An opener can come back from an outage with its travel settings or remote pairing lost, so the door stops short, reverses or ignores the remote. Say if the trouble started when the power came back.
Repair or replace
Sensor and control repairs, or a new opener
Small parts
A sensor, a wall button, a wire or a remote is replaced on its own, and the opener stays.
A new opener
When the board, the motor and the drive have all worn, a new opener goes in.
Other repairs
The rest of the door
Springs
A broken spring is replaced. Until then, the door is too heavy for the opener to lift.
Cables and track
Frayed cables and bent track are replaced, and a door off its track is set back in.
Rollers and hinges
Rollers that grind and hinges that rattle are replaced.
Seals and sections
Worn seals are replaced, and a dented section is replaced when a match is available.
New doors
A door past repair is measured and quoted new.
