Why does my garage door opener only work when I'm next to the door?

Your opener is having difficulty in receiving the signal from the transmitter. Install new batteries first. If this doesn't work, increase the size of the receiving wire that is hanging out of the ceiling mounted opener with the addition of more wire.

How many horse power garage door opener do you need?
It really depends on how heavy your door is.The 1/3 horsepower garage door opener is pretty much for people who want to save money. Only the lightest garage door should be used with those. The 1/3 hp have a smaller work-load rating and do not have as good a warranty as the others have. For most garage doors, a 1/2 horsepower garage door opener is just fine, but if you have a really really heavy door you may need a 3/4 horsepower garage door opener. The 3/4 hp garage door opener is designed for the heavier custom wood garage doors that go over 500lbs in weight.

How to install a garage door opener?
A garage door opener has become an indispensable appliance that is normally found in every modern home. Not only does it add convenience to the house, but most garage door openers have a security component that helps make the home more safe. For those homeowners who do not have a garage door opener, it is a relatively easy installation for a homeowner with even a modicum of mechanical ability. The first step in installing a garage door opener is deciding which type of garage door opener is right for the homeowner’s needs. Once that decision has been made and the garage door opener has been purchased, the next step is to open the garage door opener and check to make sure the garage door opener is complete. The next step is for the installer to gather any tools that will be needed for the installation. Typically, a Phillips head screwdriver, a flat-head screwdriver, a drill, a hammer, a ruler, and a leveler. Most garage door openers require that the first step in installing the garage door opener is assembling the rail. Once the rail has been assembled, the next step is inserting it into the power source. The slider/traveler unit must then be connected to the rail, and then the idler pulley must be affixed to the opposite side of the rail. The chain must now be attached to the traveler. Once the chain is attached to the traveler, the chain is then snaked around the drive wheels of the power unit and looped around the idler pulley back to the traveler. The chain ends are then attached with a retaining clip. The header must then be mounted at the height recommended by the manufacturer, and then attached to the idler assembly. The final step for attaching the garage door assembly is to attach the power unit to the garage ceiling joists. It is now time to make sure the door clears the manual unit. This is usually done by manually lifting the door to ensure it is able to clear the power unit. If it does not clear, the assembly must be adjusted. If it does clear the assembly, the sensors can then be installed. Once the sensors have been installed, it is time to test the door. Once the door has been successfully operated, the installation is complete.

Leave Garage Door Installation To Experts?
Just as in all aspects of homeownership and the needed repairs that go with it, eventually you may need new garage doors to replace those that have just seen too much wear and are no longer functional or attractive. While many repairs or replacements around the house can be done by the homeowner, garage door installation may not be one of them. If a garage door is improperly installed, it is not only not going to work well, it can put people and pets at risk of serious injury, or worse. An experienced and expert professional should be hired, or at least consulted, for help in installing a garage door and the garage door opener correctly. There are safety measures that must be considered, as well as codes and even Federal laws that must be met for proper garage door installation. Modern garage doors are now equipped with sensitivity sensors that reverse the direction of the door if something blocks the operation. If this safety feature does not work, the sensors need to be adjusted to sense the presence of a person or object in the way. This may take an expert who understands the sensitivity of the sensors, to set them just right so they continue to work every time. Garage Door Openers Special attention needs to be given to the opener to ensure its safe and proper operation, as well, as this is an important part of garage door installation. An expert will set the adjustment and balance of the door in order to have it close tightly without a heavy thump, or too fast or slow operation. If, after your new garage door and the opener is properly installed and you notice it is not working as well as it should, do not attempt to adjust it yourself. Contact the professional who installed it to diagnose and fix the problem. Trying to fix it yourself may make the situation worse, and interfere with your guarantee on workmanship. When the opener features a control button on the wall, it should be placed out of the reach of children, and children should be taught, as well, not to play with a remote opener, as this can not only cause damage to the garage doors, but present the risk of a serious accident to the child, pets, or others present.
How do you program garage door opener on a 1997 jaguar xjr?
It will be in your owners manual. If you don't have one, try going to the Jaguar website. Click on "ownership," then "my Jaguar." On the left of the screen, you should see "Owners Manuals." Click on that, then click on your model (under the photo) then pick the year and download the manual. It may not be for your exact year (I think they only go back to 2000) but the directions are probably the same. --an additional note on this, if you have a newer garage door opener that has a rolling code, you most likely won't be able to use the buttons installed in the car, the technology is too old.

How does a person fix a broken garage door remote?
Many individual never thought of the work our garage door does - lifting and closing a large door every day, over and over again.. The fact is, your garage door opener really doesn't do much work, because of a physics helper, the spring! Springs are utilized as the door is lowered, and the springs are stretched out (the motor literally pushes the garage door down). When it is time to lift the door, the springs do 95% of the work as they recoil and pull the door back up, leaving the garage door motor to do little more than wind up the loose cable or chain. This is why most garage door openers are rated at only 1/2 to 1 horse power - it doesn't take much power to lift up a garage door that is being pulled up by stretched springs.
