Keypads, remotes, and sensors in Spokane Valley, WA are the small parts that stop an otherwise good door. The photo eyes near the floor are the usual reason a door goes down and comes right back up. A keypad that stopped overnight is often a battery. A door that got heavy is not a keypad problem.
Quick sort
- Wall button works, remote does not: battery or reprogram the remote
- Keypad beeps and nothing happens: battery, wrong code, or the opener lock is on
- Door closes a foot and reverses: photo eyes blocked, misaimed, or sun glare on the lens
- Door will not close unless you hold the wall button: sensors not seen by the opener
- Nothing works and the door feels like concrete: stop, check for a broken spring
We aim the sensors, replace a bad eye, and program remotes and keypads to the opener you already have when the brand allows it. If the logic board will not learn a remote, we say whether a repair or a new opener makes sense. Details on opener repair. No prices online.
Low winter sun across a south-facing door on Sprague or in Greenacres can wash out a sensor the same way a dirty lens does. Wipe the lens before you assume the eye is dead. If it still reverses, call.

FAQ
Why does the door only close when I hold the button?
The opener is not seeing both photo eyes. A blocked lens, a loose wire, or a bad eye is the usual cause. Holding the button bypasses that check. Fix the eyes. Do not live on the bypass.
Can you program a keypad I bought at the store?
Often, if it matches the opener brand and the learn button still works. Bring the model when you call, or read it off the head unit.
The sensors look fine but the door is heavy. What now?
Leave the sensors. A heavy door is a spring, a freeze, or a bind. Call 509-414-6152 and describe the weight.
