When a residential garage door opener stops working, everyday routines grind to a halt. Whether you live near Washington Park or along the Colfax Avenue corridor, a failing opener can mean a door that will not budge, a remote that gets no response, or a motor that runs but moves nothing at all.
At Select Garage Doors, we handle every aspect of garage door opener repair across Denver and the greater Denver metro, from residential chain-drive units to jackshaft operators. Veteran-owned and BBB A+ accredited, our certified technicians find the actual source of the failure rather than treating just the surface symptom, and most repairs are completed the same day we arrive.
If your opener is struggling, behaving unpredictably, or has stopped working entirely, contact us today for a service request.

Had a garage door put in in February it broke down in August. But they came and fixed it up all nice now it works great and they didn’t charge me for the repair service. So I think they did great on the fixer upper. And I would recommend them for garage door services they were nice and super professional about the whole thing. They let me know they stand by there products which is always a good motto to have and fixed me up nicely

I scheduled an appointment for an estimate. They were able to install right then. It didn’t take long and they cleaned everything up after themselves. The install went very well and they were meticulous about where the wires were placed coming out of the ceiling and kept it organized. The door opener is very quiet which is really nice.

I am so glad I called Select Garage doors. My spring broke on my garage door and locked me out of access to my house. They responded same day and were fast and efficient making sure we were aware of all things needed to keep the garage working. Technician was super informative and friendly as well. 100% recommend.

I called on a Saturday because my garage opener stopped working. Shaun came out the same day. Provided an estimate and he was back Sunday morning to replace it. Highly recommend!
Eric Peck
I had a very noisy garage door repair issue that was waking up my kids every morning. The technician replaced the rollers and checked the Genie opener repair needs. It’s now whisper-quiet! I am so happy with the price and the same-day garage door service.
Elliott Denisse
I’m absolutely thrilled with the service I received from Select Garage Doors! They installed a new garage door opener for me and were fantastic. On time, efficient, and explained everything thoroughly. Great price too, highly recommend!

A Struggling Garage Door Opener in Denver Will Only Get Worse Without Professional Repair
Garage door openers are more complex than they appear. Behind a wall button or remote lies a motor, gearbox, logic board, travel limit settings, force calibration, safety sensors, and a drive system that all have to work together under load. A repair that only addresses the most visible symptom often leaves the root cause untouched, and a repeat failure follows shortly after.
A trained technician works through the full electrical and mechanical chain to find what is actually wrong. That means checking voltage to the unit, inspecting the gear assembly, testing the safety sensors, verifying remote frequency, and confirming the opener is correctly matched to the weight and balance of the door it is driving.
Denver sits at the heart of the Front Range where dry air, variable temperatures, and sharp seasonal swings put real stress on mechanical components. Cold weather tightens connections and thickens lubricants. Summer heat dries everything out. Professional repair accounts for these local conditions so the opener holds up reliably between service visits.

This is almost always a safety sensor issue. The two photo eyes near the base of the door need to be aligned and completely unobstructed for the door to close. A blocked lens, misaligned bracket, or damaged sensor wire will trigger a reversal every time. A technician can diagnose and correct this during a single service visit.
A clicking sound with no movement usually points to a failed start capacitor, a stripped main gear, a broken drive connection, or a door that is mechanically stuck due to a broken spring or off-track roller. Do not force the opener to keep running. Call for a diagnostic visit to identify the exact cause before more components are damaged.
Most residential garage door openers last between 10 and 15 years with regular maintenance. Denver’s dry air, mile-high altitude, and wide seasonal temperature swings can affect electronic components and mechanical parts over time. Openers that are older than 15 years, lack modern safety sensors, or have required repeated repairs are generally better replaced than continually fixed.
Drive type sets the baseline noise level. Chain drives are the loudest by design, belt drives run noticeably quieter, and jackshaft or direct drive units operate nearly silently. If a previously quiet opener has started rattling, grinding, or popping, that change in sound usually signals a worn component that needs attention before it fails completely.
This is typically a remote battery, frequency, or programming issue rather than a motor problem. A dead battery is the most common culprit. If a fresh battery does not resolve it, the remote may have lost its programming or the opener’s receiver may need attention. A technician can troubleshoot and reprogram the remote during a service visit.
Reversal before closing is usually caused by misaligned safety sensors, incorrect force settings, or an obstruction in the door’s path. The opener’s built-in safety system is designed to reverse under these conditions to prevent damage or injury. A technician can adjust the settings and realign the sensors to correct the behavior.
It depends on the age and condition of the unit. Openers that are under 10 years old and experiencing isolated issues are usually good candidates for repair. Units older than 15 years, those that lack safety sensors required by federal law since 1993, or those that have required multiple repairs in a short period are generally better replaced for reliability and safety.
Yes. Cold winters thicken lubricants and make components work harder, while dry summers accelerate wear on plastic gears and drive parts. Denver’s altitude also affects how electronics perform, and electrical surges from Colorado’s frequent thunderstorms can damage circuit boards. Annual maintenance before winter helps keep the opener running reliably through the harshest months.
Yes. We offer routine maintenance services to keep your opener and the full door system running smoothly. Regular annual visits help prevent unexpected failures and extend the lifespan of your opener through Denver’s demanding seasonal conditions.
