Garage Door Opener Repair vs Replacement
At Garage Doors North Jersey, we can often repair your existing garage door opener quickly and affordably — most fixes are done in one visit. However, if replacement is the smarter option, our team will help you choose from the latest, most reliable opener models featuring modern safety and smart technology.
When We Recommend Replacement
Non-Compliant Openers
Federal safety standards (UL 325) were updated in 1993 to make garage door openers much safer. If your opener was made before that year, it likely doesn’t meet current safety requirements and may not pass a home inspection. In such cases, Garage Doors North Jersey recommends replacing your old opener with a modern, compliant model to ensure safety and reliability.
Safety Concerns with a Brand
At Garage Doors North Jersey, your safety is our top priority. If a garage door opener brand has a history of safety-related lawsuits or proven defects, we do not service or repair that model to ensure the protection and reliability of your home’s garage system.
No Safety Eyes
If your garage door opener lacks safety eyes, it does not meet the UL 325 safety standards. In North Jersey, this could also cause your home to fail inspection. For this reason, Garage Doors North Jersey typically recommends replacing any opener that doesn’t include these essential safety features.
Brand No Longer Exists
If your garage door opener’s manufacturer is no longer in business, replacement parts are often impossible to find. In these cases, Garage Doors North Jersey typically recommends a full replacement to ensure safe, reliable, and long-lasting operation.
Why Do Garage Door Openers Fail?
At Garage Doors North Jersey, we always perform a balance test on your garage door, following DASMA recommendations. This simple test helps determine whether your door is properly balanced. An unbalanced door puts excess strain on the opener, which can lead to worn gears and premature failure. You can even perform this quick test yourself to check your door’s balance and prevent costly repairs.
Why Your Garage Door May Be Unbalanced
A common reason for an unbalanced garage door is having springs that are the wrong size for your door’s weight. When this happens, the door can become too heavy, causing strain and even stripping the opener’s sprocket. At Garage Doors North Jersey, we always perform a balance test to identify this issue before it leads to costly damage.
Our trained technicians repair all major garage door opener brands, including LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Marantec, Sears, Overhead Door, Raynor, Stanley, Craftsman, and more. If you’re experiencing opener issues or balance problems, contact Garage Doors North Jersey today — we’re happy to help.
