Why Is My Electric Garage Door Opening on Its Own?
If your electric garage door is opening on its own, it’s not just inconvenient—it’s a security risk. Common causes include interference from nearby devices, a faulty or stuck remote control, damaged wiring, control panel issues, or even a neighbor’s remote using the same frequency.
Older openers with fixed codes are especially vulnerable. To fix the issue, try resetting the opener, checking remotes and wiring, or upgrading to a system with rolling code technology. Troubleshoot by disconnecting power, removing remote batteries, and inspecting all components.
If the door continues to act up, call a professional for a full diagnostic and repair. Prevent future issues with regular maintenance, secure remote storage, and surge protection. Taking these steps ensures your garage door works safely and reliably.
