When it comes to your garage door, safety and reliability should always come first. At Macomb Garage Door Repair, we’ve spent more than a decade repairing, installing, and maintaining thousands of garage doors across Macomb County and the surrounding areas. One thing we’ve learned over the years is that most homeowners don’t want to become garage door technicians—they simply want their door to work the way it should. Still, there are moments when a small issue pops up, and you just want quick guidance without waiting for a service call. That’s exactly why we created this page.
Our “How-To Videos” library is designed to give homeowners safe, easy-to-understand troubleshooting steps for the most common garage door issues. While we would never encourage anyone to tamper with dangerous garage door components like springs, cables, or high-tension hardware, there are a few situations where a simple adjustment or basic check can save time, stress, and confusion. These videos focus only on those safe, beginner-friendly areas—issues like garage door sensor alignment, garage door opener programming and setup, simple remote pairing, routine lubrication tips, and basic maintenance checks you can perform without risk.
Our goal is not to turn you into a technician. Instead, we want to empower you with enough knowledge to handle minor troubleshooting and understand how your garage door system works. Garage doors are one of the largest moving mechanisms in your home, and knowing how to spot a problem early can prevent bigger—and more expensive—issues later. Whether your garage door won’t close because the sensors are blinking, your opener isn’t responding after a power outage, or you simply want to know how to maintain your door so it runs smoothly through Michigan’s tough winters, these videos offer step-by-step guidance filmed and explained by professionals.
However, we also want to be very clear: if at any point you feel unsure, uncomfortable, or if the problem involves springs, cables, rollers, or anything that carries high tension, stop immediately and call a professional. Garage door systems can be dangerous when handled incorrectly, and some components should only ever be serviced by trained technicians. This video library is meant to give you clarity—not to replace expert repair work.
We’re proud to serve our community with transparency, integrity, and real educational value. By offering these how-to resources, we hope to help homeowners gain confidence while also recognizing when it’s time to call in the experts. If you watch a video and realize the issue is more complicated than it appears, or if your door still isn’t functioning the way it should, our team at Macomb Garage Door Repair is always just a phone call away. We offer same-day service, emergency repairs, and friendly technicians who can resolve any garage door problem quickly and professionally.
Take a look through the videos, learn at your own pace, and use this page as a trusted resource whenever you need help. We’re here to keep your garage door running smoothly and safely—today, tomorrow, and for many years to come.
In this video, we walk you through a Chamberlain Chain Drive Garage Door Opener Installation step-by-step, demonstrating how our skilled technicians handle every detail to ensure a smooth, safe, and reliable garage door system. Whether you’re replacing an old opener or upgrading to a new one, this guide will show you what to expect when you choose Troy MI Garage Door Service.
When your garage door won’t fully open, one of the most common causes is an incorrect travel limit adjustment on the opener. The travel limit tells the opener how far the door should move in both directions. If this setting is too low, the opener will stop early because it “thinks” the door has reached its maximum height, even though it still has room to go. This often happens after power outages, new opener installations, or natural wear over time. A simple adjustment to the travel limit usually restores full operation, allowing the door to open to its proper height.
Replacing a garage door opener’s logic board is generally straightforward, but it’s still important to follow safe steps and avoid touching any high-tension components connected to the door itself. The logic board is the “brain” of your opener—responsible for receiving remote signals, controlling the motor, and managing safety functions. When the board fails, you may experience symptoms such as the opener not responding, clicking repeatedly, flashing lights, or losing all programming.
