1. Frozen door threshold
Yesterday, it was mild and raining, but that night the
mercury descended below zero and froze everything in its path. As a precaution,
do not try to open your garage door this morning. First, check to see if the weather-strip
is covered with ice. If so, gently spray the ice using a piece of wood and a
hammer. When nothing else will hold the weather-strip at the door, you can then
operate your opener.
2. Low battery of the remote transmitter
High moisture levels may become commonplace in a garage that
has not been isolated. Do you leave your transmitter in your car? It is
possible that condensation forms inside the small unit and covers the contacts
of the battery. To counter this, simply remove the cover of the transmitter and
mop the contacts of the battery using a cloth. It is also possible that the
battery is simply dead and you have to replace it.
3. Condensation on the infrared security
system
The photo-cellular inversion system on some door openers may
have misting or frost on its surface during the winter, which may hinder its
operation. The solution? Grab a rag and spit the glass from the boxes on either
side of your garage door.
