Broken Garage Door Spring: Signs and What to Do
If you heard a loud bang in the garage and now the door won't go up, a spring has most likely broken. Leave the door closed, don't run the opener, and call a technician to replace the spring.

Garage Door Won't Open: Causes and Fixes
A door that won't open usually has a broken spring, a power problem, or a remote that lost its signal. Check the power, the lock and the remote first, and if the motor runs but the door doesn't lift, stop and call a technician.

Garage Door Off Track: What to Do
A door comes off its track when one or more rollers pop out, usually after the door gets hit, a cable slips, or the track bends out of line. Stop using it right away, because a door off track can twist and fall.

Snapped Garage Door Cable: Signs and Repair
Lift cables run from the bottom corners of the door up to the drums by the springs, and they carry the weight together with the springs. If a cable is loose, frayed or snapped, the door will hang crooked and should not be used until it is repaired.

Garage Door Opener Not Working
When an opener stops working, the cause is often simple: no power, a locked wall console, a dead remote, or blocked safety sensors. If those check out and the motor hums, clicks, or runs without moving the door, the opener needs a repair.

Garage Door Reverses or Won't Close
A door that starts down and then goes back up almost always has a safety sensor problem: the two small sensors near the floor are dirty, bumped out of line, or blocked. If the sensors are fine, the cause is usually the opener's settings or something binding in the track.

Noisy Garage Door: What the Sounds Mean
Most garage door noise comes from dry or worn rollers, loose hardware, or an opener chain that needs attention. Squeaks and rattles are usually a tune-up fix, but a sudden bang, grinding or popping can mean a part is failing.

Garage Door Remote or Keypad Not Working
If the wall button opens the door but the remote or keypad does not, the problem is almost always the remote, the keypad, or the opener's receiver, not the door itself. Start with fresh batteries and the lock button on the wall console, then reprogram if needed.
