Tracks are damaged or out of alignment
If your garage door tracks are warped, causing the rollers to jam and preventing the door from moving, attempting to repair the door without professional assistance can result in damage to other components of your garage door. In such cases, it is highly recommended to seek the assistance of an experienced technician who can assess the reasons for the track damage and determine the best solution for replacement.
Springs are damaged or broken
Springs are the most commonly broken component in a garage door due to their limited lifespan, typically around 10,000 cycles. Immediate assistance is crucial for overhead garage doors. If your spring is damaged, avoid pressing the opener button to open or close the door. The door becomes significantly heavier, and attempting operation without fixing the spring issue can lead to burn out your opener, such as the inevitable spring replacement.
Cables are damaged or broken
If you have snapped cables or your door is closing too quickly, resulting in a garage door slam, immediate assistance is essential. The cables, responsible for lifting the garage door, are under severe tension. For safety reasons, do not attempt to touch the cable without releasing the tension. Garage door cable requires regular maintenance, as a break can be a risk of harm due to the stored tension.
Overhead garage door won’t open
If an overhead garage door is not opening, the key components that may be causing the issue are the springs, cables or the garage door motor. Over time, these components can wear out, and if they break, it can prevent the door from opening.
Garage door won’t close
A garage door that refuses to close could be experiencing issues such as broken rollers and tracks, misaligned sensors, problems with the trolley, malfunctions in the remote control, or the emergency release key is pulled off.
Garage door off tracks
A garage door can be knocked off its tracks due to an impact from an external object, a snapped cable, or a damaged roller. To realign the garage door, you should release the cable tension, gently push the door back into position, ensure the tracks are properly aligned, and straighten any bent parts that may be causing the garage door to be off-track. This process involves a careful assessment and adjustment of various components to restore the door to its correct position.
Garage door opener not working
If your garage door opener is not functioning, the first step is to inspect the hardware and components to ensure that the issue does not originate from the opener itself. If the hardware is in a good condition, consult the manual and look for any error codes on the opener screen. If you detect a burnt smell coming from the opener, it may indicate a damaged motherboard that needs replacement. Additionally, examine the gear, tracks, and pulley for any issues that could be affecting the opener’s performance.
Garage door opening by itself
If your garage door is opening by itself, it is likely that you have a sensor issue. You may need to replace the sensors or inspect the wires and connections between the sensors and the opener. This unexpected behavior could be a result of a malfunction in the sensor system, and addressing it by either replacing faulty sensors or ensuring proper wiring connections can help resolve the problem.

We offer emergency services for weatherstripping. Recognizing the challenging conditions that winter can bring, we emphasize the importance of a garage door seal for your garage door. This service is crucial to a well-protected garage, ensuring not only resilience against the harsh weather conditions but also preventing outside debris coming inside the garage and damaging the tracks.
Remote won’t open the door
If your remote control is not functioning, begin by checking the battery and looking for any indicator lights on the remote. Additionally, ensure that your sensors are aligned. If both the sensors and remote are in good condition, there could be damage to a hardware component, such as the springs, cables, or rollers.
