Your garage door opener is the workhorse of your garage — you press a button and expect it to work every single time. When it doesn't, it throws off your whole routine. At Flatirons Garage Doors, we repair all major opener brands including LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, and Craftsman. From stripped gears and burned-out motors to circuit board failures and sensor problems, we've seen and fixed it all.

One of the most common calls we get is for safety sensor issues. If your door starts to close and then immediately reverses, the photo-eye sensors at the bottom of the tracks may be misaligned, dirty, or damaged. This is usually a quick fix, but it's important to get it handled because those sensors are a critical safety feature. We also see a lot of remote and keypad failures — sometimes it's as simple as reprogramming, other times the logic board inside the opener needs attention.

Don't let a broken opener leave your garage — and your home — vulnerable. Whether it's a minor adjustment or a motor replacement, we'll get your opener back in action fast. Call (720) 810-1615 for a free estimate and same-day service across the Colorado Front Range.

Garage Door Opener Repair FAQ

My garage door opener hums but the door doesn't move. What's wrong?

A humming sound usually means the motor is running but the drive mechanism — the gear, belt, or chain — is stripped or disconnected. This is a common issue, especially on older units, and our technicians can usually fix it in one visit.

Can you fix my LiftMaster / Chamberlain / Genie opener?

Absolutely. Our team is trained on all major residential opener brands including LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman, Marantec, and Linear. We stock common parts for these brands so repairs are fast.

Why does my garage door reverse right after it starts closing?

This is almost always a safety sensor issue. The photo-eye sensors near the bottom of the door tracks may be out of alignment, obstructed, or faulty. We'll realign or replace them so the door operates safely and reliably.

Is it worth repairing an old garage door opener or should I replace it?

It depends on the age and condition of the unit. If your opener is over 15 years old and requires a major repair like a new motor or logic board, replacement often makes more sense. We'll give you an honest recommendation based on the cost of repair versus a new installation.

My remote works but the wall button doesn't (or vice versa). What's going on?

If the remote works but the wall button doesn't, the issue is usually in the wiring or the button itself. If the wall button works but the remote doesn't, the remote may need new batteries or reprogramming. Either way, it's a straightforward fix we can handle quickly.
