Safety Tip
Stay Safe Around Your Garage Door
Keep hands, feet, and objects away from moving garage door opener components to avoid injury. Never attempt electrical or motor repairs yourself, as improper handling can cause serious harm. Test the opener’s auto-reverse function each month to ensure it stops and reverses when an object is detected. Routine professional inspections help identify issues early, keeping your garage door opener reliable, safe, and working smoothly for years to come.

Garage Door Opener Repair
Garage door openers can fail for many reasons, from faulty sensors and wiring issues to remotes and keypads that stop working. Noise during operation or balance problems between the door and opener are also common. Ben Garage Doors LLC provides fast garage door opener repair, fixing motors, safety sensors, programming remotes, and eliminating noise or imbalance. Every repair includes a full safety and performance test to guarantee reliable operation.
Chain Drive Garage Door Opener Installation
Chain drive garage door openers are known for their strength and durability. They use a heavy-duty metal chain to lift and lower the garage door, making them ideal for heavier doors. The main advantage is their reliability and long lifespan, but they can be noisier compared to other types, which is something to consider for attached garages. At Ben Garage Doors LLC, we install and service chain drive models from leading brands such as Chamberlain and Genie. Our primary focus is on LiftMaster, with the 8160 model being the top choice for dependable chain drive performance and smart myQ connectivity.

Belt Drive Garage Door Opener Installation
Belt drive garage door openers use a reinforced belt instead of a chain, offering smoother and much quieter operation. This makes them perfect for homes with living spaces near or above the garage. They still provide excellent lifting power but with minimal noise and vibration. The only drawback is that belt drive systems may cost slightly more than chain drives. Ben Garage Doors LLC works with trusted brands like Chamberlain and Genie, but our preferred installation is the LiftMaster 84505R. This model combines ultra-quiet operation with advanced features such as integrated lighting, camera options, and smart myQ control.
Wall Mount Garage Door Opener Installation
Wall mount (or jackshaft) garage door openers are installed on the side of the garage door instead of overhead. This design frees up ceiling space, provides an extremely quiet operation, and includes advanced security features such as automatic deadbolt locking. They are ideal for garages with high or obstructed ceilings. The main consideration is that wall mount openers typically cost more than chain or belt systems. At Ben Garage Doors LLC, we install wall mount models from brands including Chamberlain and Genie, but the LiftMaster 98022 is our leading recommendation thanks to its reliability, smart myQ features, and superior safety design.

FAQ
Everything You Need to Know
Curious about garage door opener repairs, installations, or upkeep? Our FAQ section offers concise, informative answers to common questions. Discover what’s included, how we work, and how we can help maintain your opener’s performance.
Why does my garage door opener hum but not move?
If your garage door opener hums but doesn’t lift the door, the motor may be working against a jammed mechanism, stripped gear, or disconnected trolley. A failed capacitor or internal damage could also be the cause. Continuing use risks burning out the motor. A trained technician can troubleshoot the opener, replace worn parts, and restore smooth, reliable operation without adding unnecessary strain to the system.
What should I do if my garage door opener is running but the door won’t move?
Stop operating the opener immediately if it runs but the door stays in place. The problem may be a disengaged trolley, broken drive belt, or stripped gear inside the opener. Forcing the system could cause more damage to the opener or door. A professional can inspect the opener, reconnect or replace parts, and ensure it lifts and closes the door safely and efficiently again.
Can I replace garage door opener parts myself?
While you can handle simple tasks like changing remote batteries, replacing opener parts such as drive belts, gears, or sensors can be complex. These repairs require electrical knowledge and proper tools. Attempting them without training risks damaging the opener or creating safety hazards. A qualified technician can replace components quickly, ensure correct alignment, and optimize settings for smooth, long-lasting performance from your garage door opener system.
Why does my garage door opener struggle to lift the door?
If your garage door opener strains to lift, it may be due to worn internal gears, a failing motor, or poor force adjustment settings. Additional strain can occur if the door itself is unbalanced or has damaged springs. Running the opener in this state can cause premature failure. A technician can inspect both the opener and door, make necessary repairs, and restore easy, balanced lifting.
Can I use my garage door opener during a power outage?
Most garage door openers allow manual operation during a power outage by pulling the emergency release cord, usually hanging from the opener rail. Lift the door carefully, as it may feel heavier without opener assistance. Ensure the door is closed before reattaching the opener once power returns. Manual operation is safe with a properly balanced door, but avoid lifting if springs or cables are damaged.
