After Hurricane Helene, many homeowners are facing garage doors that won’t close. Here are some common reasons why and how you can fix them:
1. Misaligned Sensors
The storm may have knocked your sensors out of alignment. Check for debris or dirt on the sensors and ensure they face each other properly.
2. Power Problems
Power surges or outages during the storm may have affected the garage door opener. Check the power source and reset the circuit breaker if necessary.
3. Damaged Tracks or Rollers
High winds could have damaged the door’s tracks or rollers, preventing it from closing. Look for visible damage and listen for unusual noises when the door operates.
4. Broken Springs
Garage door springs may have weakened or snapped during the storm. If your door won’t close at all, this could be the cause—call a professional to replace them safely.
5. Remote or Keypad Issues
Humidity and rain can damage your remote or keypad. Try replacing the batteries or resetting the system.
