Start With the Remote
If the remote's light stays dark, check its battery. Many use a CR2032 3V battery; confirm your model's type. A working light without door movement may mean the remote needs reprogramming.

Get garage door opener repair, replacement and installation, including help with remotes and keypads.
Find Out Why the Opener Has Stopped Working
Compton Doors repairs and installs residential garage door openers across Massachusetts and Rhode Island, with service for most makes and models. Faults can involve the remote, safety sensors or powered unit.
Compare the Controls
If the wall control works but the remote or keypad does not, tell us which control has failed. For reversing during closing, check for objects blocking the floor-level sensor beam. Follow the instructions for your model and arrange service if the fault continues. Never bypass sensors.
Repair the Opener or Choose a Replacement
When Repair Is an Option
Remote or programming faults may be repairable; condition and compatible parts affect the choice. A binding or unbalanced door can strain the opener, so replacing the motor alone may leave the problem unresolved.
Replacement and New Installation
We replace existing openers and install new ones. Ceiling-mounted units use an overhead rail; wall-mounted options require a compatible door and shaft-side space. Existing remotes and keypads must be compatible with the replacement.
Features to Compare Before Installation
Battery Backup and Wi-Fi
Battery backup runs a compatible opener during outages while charge lasts. Wi-Fi can provide door-status checks and app control, depending on model and connection. The brochures below detail features; estimates are free.
Remotes, Keypads and Maintenance
We can help with remote controls and keypad setup as part of opener service. Follow model-specific safety tests and maintenance guidance, including the door hardware. Repeated reversing or unreliable controls need attention.

Questions About Garage Door Opener Repair
Why has my garage door remote stopped working?
Check its indicator light and battery first. If a fresh battery of the correct type does not help, the remote may need reprogramming. Have the opener model available so the right instructions can be identified.
Why does the wall button work but the remote does not?
The remote's battery, its programming or a lock setting on the wall control may be involved. Check the instructions for your opener before changing settings, and describe which controls still work when asking for help.
Can you replace an opener without replacing the garage door?
Yes, if the door is in suitable working condition and compatible with the proposed opener. A door fault needs attention too, so include any sticking, uneven movement or damage in your request.
Can I get a new remote or wireless keypad?
We can help with remotes and keypads. Compatibility depends on the opener, so send the model information rather than choosing an accessory by appearance alone.
Do all garage door openers have battery backup and Wi-Fi?
Features vary by model. Battery backup lets a compatible opener run during a power outage while its battery has charge. Wi-Fi features require a working connection. Check the product guide for the opener you are considering.
