How Long Does a Garage Door Opener Last?

Your average garage door will last 15 to 30 years before you need to install a new one. That’s why most homeowners will only install one or two garage doors in their lifetimes. Garage door openers, on the other hand, are another story. Your average opener for a garage door will last about 10 to 15 years. That means you can expect to replace your garage door opener at twice the rate of your garage door. Sometimes the motor will wear out and you can repair the opener just by replacing the motor. Most repair issues are electrical in nature — battery connections or a blown fuse.
