The garage door remote opens the door but when you try to close the door it goes down almost all the way and then reverses and opens again the problem may be the sensor beam is out of alignment. The sensor beam consists of a sending and receiving unit located on either side of the door near the floor it is suppose to keep the door from closing if there is an obstruction in the door. try realigning the sending and receiving units and see if this solves the problem
Garage Door openers are designed with safety in mind. Hence the sensor beams are placed about 6 inches above the floor to prevent the Garage Door from closing on something and possibly causing damage. There is very little risk of the Garage Door causing damage while opening. This is the reason the garage door remote can open the door but may not be able to close the Garage Door. Check the area around the sensors to make sure nothing is blocking the sensor.
You can still close the door by using the wall switch. By law the switch is mounted above 5 feet so a child can't operate it and in a place where the Garage Door is still visible. By holding down on the wall switch until the Garage Door quits moving you are in essence saying I'm an adult, I see there is nothing underneath the door to be crushed, so ignore the safety sensors and close the door!
Your best bet is to call a garage door company. Usually they can determine the cause quickly and while they are there, they will oil and lube the door.
You have to make sure that the remote you are using is compatible with the garage door opener receiver, and that they are programmed to work with each other. Before I write everything here.. go to http://www.clickerdepot.com/page.php?page=help.. and scroll down to the instructions on how to select the right remote, it'll tell you what to do.
Just to add on...
First, as logical as this may be, please check your remote's batteries. It happens every now and then, but this is a situation where you could save yourself some money. Second, make sure it's not a bad remote, if you have another remote check to see if that one works. If both remotes don't work, your issue is most likely a remote or remotes that are not synced with the automatic opener. Or, in the worst situation, your automatic opener unit is broken.
In the case that you need new garage door remotes, please look for a remote that matches what you currently have (assuming this remote is the correct remote for your opener). If you cannot find the correct remote, a universal remote is fine.
the batteries are either dead or the remote is crap
<><><>
Batteries dead, remote broken, OR- most remotes have a security code that must match the code set on the door closer. Check to see if they have been changed- usually a row of tiny 2 position switches.
Usually it is the battery, If this doesn't solve the problem, check the antenna of the garage door opener.
the battery in it might be dead
There should be an override switch inside 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.
hello i have a 1996. and you hold your garage door remote opener up to the buttons in the car, some how it reads the signal and remembers it.
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.
Press the button that will be used for the door opener until the light starts flashing. Then hold up your garage door opener remote and press to open garage door. It will then set.
The Garage door will automatically open and close when a sim or car needs to pass through.
if you are really really strong you might use a crow bar and pry it open.

A roller garage door is a door for ones garage. It is called a roller garage door because the door operates with rollers on a track frame that allows the door to open and close.
The garage door track's slider is attached to the door with a pair or adjustable arms, and the door is set on guide rails that use pulley wheels. Many garage doors are able to be opened with a remote control.
