Door Won't Open FAQ
Why won't my garage door open suddenly?
Sudden failure is often caused by broken springs, snapped cables, power issues, or opener motor failure. The most common cause is a broken torsion spring, which typically fails without warning due to normal wear and metal fatigue.
Can I force open a garage door that won't open?
Never attempt to force open a garage door, especially if springs are broken. This is extremely dangerous and can cause serious injury. Instead, use the manual release handle if you need emergency access and call for professional service.
Is it safe to use the manual release when the door won't open?
Only use the manual release if the door is fully closed and you understand the process. If springs are broken, the door may be very heavy and could fall quickly. Call professionals for safe operation guidance.
How quickly can you fix a door that won't open?
Many common issues can be resolved within 1-2 hours. We carry common parts like springs, cables, and opener components to provide same-day repair service in most cases.
