Garage Door Keypad Repair

Garage Door Keypad Importance 

The importance of having a keypad lock cannot be overstated. Some homeowners may assume if they use a remote, then there’s no need for a keypad. This is not true however. If you rely on a remote to operate your garage door, then the condition of your keypad has a direct impact on you. Your garage keypad communicates with your keyless entry wirelessly via equipping integrated receiver logical boards. In simplest terms, your remote control will not work if your keypad is not working either. Therefore, one cannot be fixed without fixing the other. 

In addition, when installing a code-operated keypad to lock and protect your valuables from unwanted guests, critters, and damaging weather conditions, if this piece were to break, the safety and security of your belongings and home is at risk. The team at Priority is here to eliminate that risk and fix your garage door keypad with excellent customer service and quality technician workmanship. 

Garage Door Keypad Common Problems 

Did you go to use your keypad and your garage door did not respond correctly? These are the most common reasons why your garage door keypad is having problems: 

• Dead or Depleted Batteries: Keypads work with batteries, and there is no warning when they run low, so you shouldn’t forget to replace them. This is imperative because if your batteries run low, neither your keypad nor your remote will work. 

• Damaged wires: Wires can suffer damage as a result of wearing out. The weather conditions in your Ottawa area, especially during the winter, may cause wires to get damaged quicker than normal. One of our maintenance specialists will inspect the keys to make sure the wires are well-connected and show no signs of damage. 

• Programming Issues: Call an expert from Priority so a professional can diagnose the issue. Whether that’d be to reset your keypad, change your keyless entry pin, to install a new keypad, or to check for other possible issues if the keypad still refuses to work.

• Keypad Button Issues: Over time, keys can become loose, making it difficult for you to open the garage door. Accumulated debris and old keypads can have malfunctioning buttons. This repair is slightly trickier and is best to call a technician to handle the replacing.

• Old keypad: A keypad is exposed to many outdoor environmental conditions such as rain, snow, and humidity. These factors can cause damage over time. The average lifespan for most keypads is 10 years but throughout its lifespan, look for cracks or lose keys as visual signs that your keypad is breaking down because of age.

• Stuck keys: This can occur as a result of dust and dirt accumulating in the space between keys. A professional will do a thorough cleaning, inside and outside the keypad, paying attention to the spaces between the buttons, removing all the dirt from the keypad.
