Garage door problems can involve the door, its hardware, the opener or its safety system. The same symptom can have several causes, so an inspection is useful before replacing parts.
Broken springs or damaged cables
A broken spring can leave the door too heavy to operate. Frayed or displaced cables can also affect its movement. Stop using the door and contact a professional if either is damaged.
Tracks and rollers
A door that scrapes, moves unevenly or leaves its tracks needs inspection. Repeated operation can make the damage worse.
Openers and safety sensors
If an opener is unresponsive or the door reverses unexpectedly, the controls, power supply, sensors or door hardware may need attention. Do not bypass safety sensors to force the door to close.
Damaged panels and seals
Dents, cracks and worn weather seals may affect appearance, movement or protection from the weather. Ask about repair options for the specific door model.
