Why Your Garage Door Won't Open
A garage door that refuses to open usually traces to one of a few causes: broken torsion or extension springs, a stripped opener gear, misaligned safety sensors, or a door that is physically binding in the tracks. The opener is designed to assist a balanced door — it is not meant to dead-lift a failed spring.
Start safely: disconnect the opener using the manual release only if you can lift the door without excessive force. If the door is extremely heavy or hung unevenly, stop — that indicates a broken spring or cable and requires professional service.
Garage Guys tests springs, cables, drums, rollers, track alignment, and opener force settings in one visit. We quote before repair and stock common parts on the truck for Orange County routes.
