Why Garage Doors Get Stuck
Garage doors stick due to broken or worn springs that no longer counterbalance the door weight, damaged or misaligned tracks, broken cables, worn rollers that bind, motor problems if automated, safety sensor issues, the door being locked manually, or warped door panels. A stuck door is often a safety hazard and should not be forced.
The Danger of DIY Garage Door Repairs
Garage door springs are under extreme tension and can cause serious injury or death if released incorrectly. Doors are also very heavy and can fall causing damage or injury. Never attempt to fix broken springs or cables yourself. Even manually lifting a door with broken springs can cause the door to fall. Always call a professional for garage door repairs.
