I have two wired garage door wall buttons which I want to replace with more attractive doorbell-type buttons. I removed the old button and wired the new doorbell to it, but it won't work, no matter which terminal I connect the red and white wires to. The door opens fine when I touch the two wires together. I bought a lighted wired doorbell switch, would that make a difference? It says not to be used with systems more than 16 volts. Any help would be appreciated.

Just bought a home that is 2 1/2 years old. The garage is not very old and is a Craftsmen. The door gets stuck sometimes about 6 inches of the ground when I try and open it. I notice from the inside that the right side of the door seems to give and then it gets stuck and stops. Upon inspecting the door I find nothing to be out of the place. Although I am not sure what I am looking for. Any help with this problem if anyone has had this before would be greatly appreciated. As a new homeowner money is tight and I have no idea home much it would cost to have looked at. Thanks. -Christian, NY
