A Reputable Name in garage door repair san diego
Having trouble opening your garage door? Aside from your springs, your opener is the next likely culprit. Motors can fail for a variety of reasons and are often repairable. When possible, Rampart Garage Doors always offers a repair vs. replacement option and will detail what to expect from both.
We service all major brands, including but not limited to Chamberlain, LiftMaster, Craftsman, All-Star, Genie, Linear, Marantec, Sommer, Guardian, Martin, Raynor, Overhead Door, and Skylink, to name a few. We even carry replacement parts for several of these manufacturers for the most common failure points on our service vehicles to ensure an expedited repair.
In the event, your opener is not repairable, or you opt to replace it with an upgraded unit, we have you covered! Many new openers today have all kinds of bells and whistles, such as on-board battery backup systems, integrated WiFi so that your door can be controlled through a free app on your smartphone, Amazon Key, which allows authorized shippers to gain access to an Amazon Prime customer’s garage to drop off packages securely, integrated LED lighting system, digital wall displays, motion detection lights, and even a camera that can help alert you if anyone has gotten into your garage. This pairs well with the Amazon Key feature to ensure your delivery driver is leaving the package and closing the garage door behind them. The list of features is ever-growing! Rampart is your local San Diego garage door repair service provider; call us today to find out more.
** UPDATE: As of July 1st of 2019, a new code was implemented in California that requires all newly installed garage door motors to include an onboard battery backup. If your system was installed before the aforementioned date, you are grandfathered into the new code, but please note that any new motor installation, or door installation, will require you to upgrade your opener. Call us with any questions! **

Making Small Repairs
Sometimes, It’s An Unresponsive Opener
Did you know that your motor may be unresponsive to your outdoor keypad, handheld remote control(s), and/or your car’s Homelink button due to a light bulb!? It’s true! Most major motor manufacturers do not recommend using LED lightbulbs in their openers. Why, may you ask? Well, garage door openers operate by using radio waves, similar to how a remote-controlled car works. LED lights have drivers inside the bulbs, which may produce a field that interferes with the garage door motors signal, preventing the door from responding to radio-controlled devices appropriately. This shouldn’t affect the wall button in your garage since it should be hardwired to the motor and doesn’t rely on radio waves to communicate. If your wall button works, but everything else seems a bit spotty, we recommend looking at your bulbs!  We recommend replacing an LED lightbulb with an incandescent or purchasing an LED bulb that is safe for garage doors. Refer to your owner’s manual for proper wattage.
