Common garage door questions

Why won't my garage door open?

Common causes include opener power, controls, a manual lock, broken springs, cable problems or mechanical binding.

Why does my garage door reverse when closing?

Safety sensors, travel settings, force settings or mechanical resistance can cause reversing.

Can I keep using a door with a broken spring?

It is better to stop operating the door. A failed spring removes part of the system that counterbalances the door's weight.

Why is one side of my garage door lower?

A cable, roller, track or spring problem may be causing uneven support or movement.

Does a broken opener mean I need a new door?

No. Opener problems and door problems are separate, though one can affect the other.

When should I consider replacing the garage door?

Replacement may make sense when damage or deterioration affects the door broadly, or when repeated major repairs are no longer practical.
