How to Know When Your LiftMaster or Genie Opener Needs Expert Repair

Is your garage door opener acting up—slowing down, reversing mid-cycle, or ignoring your remote altogether? These are early signs your LiftMaster or Genie opener may need professional attention. At Door Master Clinic, our St. Augustine, FL repair specialists know exactly what to look for and how to fix it fast—before minor issues turn into costly breakdowns.

Common Warning Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore

  • The door hesitates, reverses, or won’t close all the way
  • You hear grinding, clicking, or buzzing noises from the motor
  • Remotes or keypads respond only sometimes—or not at all
  • The safety sensors blink or stop working properly
  • You smell something “burnt” or notice flickering lights on the opener
  • How do I know if my opener needs repair or replacement?

     If it’s under 10 years old and the motor still runs, repair is usually the best option. We’ll assess your unit and provide a clear, honest recommendation.

  • Can I reset my opener myself?

     You can try a basic reset following your owner’s manual, but if issues persist, it’s safest to have our technicians inspect the circuitry and safety sensors.
