Garage Door Opener Repair vs Replace

Most garage door openers can be repaired without much of a problem. And this is often a less expensive option than replacing the unit. Usually, we recommend repair over replacement for this reason.

There are other times, however, when replacement is the best option. For instance, if the unit is more than 15 years old, repairing it would be a waste of your money, here's why:

Federal Regulations (UL 325) were updated in 1993, which made garage door openers safer. If yours was manufactured before that date, it is unlikely your house would even pass an inspection with it.
In cases like these, we recommend replacement to improve the safety of the door and ultimately save you money. Other times it's best to replace:
  • Safety Concerns With A Brand – If the pressure adjustment no longer works or if the opener fails to reverse when the door hits something.
  • No safety eyes - if the safety eyes are not present, this can be dangerous to children, animals, and vehicles.
  • If the brand no longer exists, parts for those openers will be unavailable, and replacing is usually the only option.
