My Garage Door Won’t Open

Precision Garage Door technician helping customer with garage door repairs

It’s always frustrating when your garage door won’t open like it should. Whether it’s because of the springs, cables, or another malfunctioning part, Precision will get your garage door working smoothly and safely again.

Give us a call any time, 24/7 to schedule an appointment!

Check These First If Your Garage Door Won’t Open

First, make sure your garage door isn’t locked – especially if you use a slide lock. A locked garage door won’t move even if everything is working correctly. Also make sure your garage door opener is connected to a power outlet and the batteries in your remote are fully charged. If not, try replacing them and see if that solves the problem.

If there’s no easy fix, it’s time to call a professional to take a look at your other components. Precision technicians are trained to fix all garage door brands, sizes, and styles.

If you need to open the door before a technician can visit, you can do so manually using the emergency release cord.

Top Reasons a Garage Door Won’t Open

Broken garage door springs are one of the top reasons a garage door won’t open. Homeowners should never attempt to fix broken springs – or any other repair involving the spring, cable, or track systems – by themselves.

Frayed or broken garage door cables work with the spring system to open the door, so if one malfunctions, the door likely won’t be able to open at all.

Bent or misshapen garage door tracks can cause your garage door to catch in a certain spot and not open all the way. There could also be an obstruction in the track that prevents it from moving smoothly.

Broken or damaged garage door rollers will also prevent your door from moving smoothly along the track.

These are only a few reasons a garage door won’t open. When you call Precision, our technician will perform a 25-point safety inspection and diagnose the problem before beginning any work.

Precision’s expert technicians repair all garage door sizes, styles, and weights, and our work is backed with an industry-leading warranty.
