Why does a garage door remote close but not open the garage door?

Pull the red handle to disconnect the opener from the door (While door is closed). Try to lift the door by hand, if it is heavy or not possible to open by hand you may need new springs, adjustment, or force adjustment on the opener. Call a professional as springs have very high tension and are dangerous.


Why does a garage door remote open and close door successfully inside of the garage but really hard to open the door out of the garage?

Your car brand won't make any difference. It might be related to the batteries in the remote and the distance to the electronics inside the garage when the opener is outside. You could be trying to open the door from too far away if it happens when you are driving up to the house. If it happens sitting in the driveway check your owners manual in the troubleshooting section. Contact the installer or manufacturer if the manual doesn't help. Regardless, I would check the batteries in the remote first.
