Remotes
New batteries first. Then see if the wall button works. If the wall button runs the door and the remote does not, it is the remote or the learn function, not the spring. If nothing runs the door and the door is heavy, stop and read spring repair.
Keypads
A keypad that beeps but does not move the door is usually out of sync with the opener, or the opener is in lock mode. We reprogram it on site when the opener is healthy. We do not post codes or programming charts that depend on a brand you might not have.
Sensors
Photo eyes sit a few inches off the floor. In Cooks Crossing, Fife, and older Red Oak garages they get blocked by bins, coated with pollen, or knocked out of aim. Both lights should be steady when the path is clear. A door that will not close, but will close if you hold the wall button, is almost always the eyes. Clean and aim them only if you can do it without moving the door. Then call if it still reverses.

FAQ
Can you program a remote I already own?
Often, if it is the same family as the opener. If the opener will not learn any remote, the board may be the problem. Call 470-229-1821 and tell us the brand on the opener head.
The door closes a foot and goes back up. Why?
Start with the photo eyes. In this climate they get pollen, cobwebs, and a film after rain. If the eyes are clean and lined up, the limits or the door balance are next. Do not hold the wall button to crush past an obstruction.
Does a keypad fail in Georgia humidity?
The keypad itself usually survives. The failure is often a dead battery, a stuck button, or an opener that stopped learning codes. We check that before replacing the pad.
