Garage Door Stuck and Won't Open

So your garage door is stuck? Many things can occur to cause this to happen. Take a moment and review this checklist to diagnose the situation.

1. Sometimes a garage door cable has come loose. This can be cause by a weak and aging spring tension system. If one of the cables is loose on one side of the door, you will need a professional to diagnose the situation, as it may be in a very dangerous state. Do not touch the loose cable or attempt to move the door.

2. If the door is extremely heavy the motor will not want to lift it. Many wooden garage doors become waterlogged after a period of time and need to be replaced.

3. Is the motor plugged in? If the motor has become disconnected or a circuit breaker has tripped this will prevent the door from opening.

4. Does the remote need a new battery? To test your motor with the door down, pull the manual release to release the door, then press the motor button.
