Garage Door Opener Not Working? We Fix Malfunctions Day or Night
Your garage door opener is the brain behind your door’s movement. When it fails, you’re left stuck—either locked out of your garage or unable to secure your property. Whether it’s a sudden power issue, faulty wiring, motor failure, or a smart system gone rogue, a broken opener can bring everything to a halt.
At 313 Garage Doors, we specialize in emergency opener malfunction repair—for both residential and commercial garage doors—across Metro Detroit. We’re available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and we don’t believe you should wait until Monday to get your access back.
If your garage door opener isn’t responding or your system is acting erratically, call us now, and we’ll get it fixed—safely and fast.
When Is an Opener Malfunction an Emergency?
Some opener issues are minor, but many are urgent access emergencies—especially when they prevent you from:
Leaving for work or appointments
Accessing your business or warehouse
Securing your garage overnight
Responding to medical needs
Getting your car out of or into the garage
Protecting valuables from weather or theft
If the opener failure compromises your safety, access, or security, it’s an emergency—and we’ll prioritize your call with same-day or immediate dispatch.
What Causes Garage Door Opener Malfunctions?
Garage door openers are made up of mechanical, electrical, and smart components that can fail due to wear, impact, age, or external factors. Our technicians are trained to quickly diagnose the root cause of your specific failure.
Common Opener Problems We Repair:
Dead or unresponsive opener unit
Flashing lights or blinking error codes
Clicking noise but no movement
Motor hums but doesn’t engage
Remote, keypad, or wall switch doesn’t work
WiFi or smartphone app connectivity failure
