Garage Door Keypads, Remotes, and Sensors in Lake Havasu City, AZ

Keypads, remotes, and sensors in Lake Havasu City, AZ fail in ordinary ways, and the heat piles on. A vacation house on The Island can sit for weeks. The remote battery dies. The exterior keypad fades in the sun. Photo eyes fill with dust or take a direct hit of afternoon light and refuse to let the door close.

Remotes

If one remote is dead and another works, start with the battery. If none of them work and the wall button does, the opener may have lost its memory or the antenna wire is tucked away. If nothing works and the door is heavy, stop and read spring repair.

Keypads

A keypad that does not light is often the battery. A keypad that lights and does nothing may need a new code learned to the opener. Full sun shortens battery life. Tell us the opener brand if you know it.

Sensors

Photo eyes sit a few inches off the floor on both sides of the opening. A solid light usually means they see each other. A blink, or a door that goes down a foot and comes back up, means they do not. Wipe the lenses. Make sure neither one is cocked. Do not tape them together to force the door. That defeats the safety and we will not tell you to do it.

If those checks fail, the opener page is opener repair. Call 928-427-7724 and say what still works.

FAQ

Can you program a remote I already own?

If it is compatible with the opener, yes. Bring the remote count and the opener brand when you call. Some older remotes will not learn.

The door closes a foot and goes back up. Why?

Photo eyes are the usual cause. They can be dusty, sun-blind, or knocked out of line. A bad sensor wire does the same thing.

Is a keypad safe in the desert sun?

The pad itself is built for outdoors, but full sun and heat kill batteries and fade buttons. If the code does nothing, we check power before we replace the opener.
