A garage door that suddenly refuses to open can be frustrating, especially when you need to leave home or access your vehicle. Two common causes are problems with the garage door opener or a damaged garage door spring. Understanding the signs can help you know when professional garage door service is needed.
If you press the remote or wall button and the garage door does not move, the opener may be the source of the problem. You may notice that the opener makes a clicking or humming sound without lifting the door. In some cases, the remote may stop working, the motor may have difficulty operating, or the door may open and close inconsistently.
A faulty opener should be inspected before attempting major repairs. Professional garage door opener repair can help identify issues with the motor, drive system, sensors, remote controls, or other components. If the opener is outdated or severely damaged, replacing it may be a better long-term option.
Garage door springs help support the weight of the door during opening and closing. When a spring breaks, the door can become extremely heavy and may not open properly. You may also hear a loud popping sound when the spring breaks, or notice a visible gap in the spring.
A broken spring can make the garage door unsafe to operate. Trying to repair or replace a garage door spring without the proper tools and experience can result in serious injury. Professional garage door spring repair is recommended to safely inspect the system and determine the appropriate repair.
