What is your garage door doing?

Most garage door problems announce themselves the same way every time. Find the line that sounds like your door. It points to the part that has most likely failed and the repair that fixes it.

The door…Usually meansRepair
Won't lift, or rises a few inches and stops. You may have heard a loud bang.A torsion spring has broken and the door is carrying its full weight.Spring repair
Hangs crooked, with one side lower than the other.A lift cable has snapped or slipped off its drum.Cable repair
Is jammed, with rollers out of the track or a gap at one side.The door has come off its track, often after a bump or a bent track section.Off-track repair
Starts closing, then reverses before it reaches the floor.The safety sensors are blocked, dirty or out of alignment.Sensor repair
Doesn't respond to the remote or wall button, or the motor runs and the door stays put.The opener has a fault. A broken spring can cause the same thing, so both get checked.Opener repair
Grinds, squeals or shudders as it moves.Worn rollers or dry, corroded hardware.Roller replacement

Four things to do before you call

  1. Keep people, pets and cars out of the door's path.
  2. If a spring or cable has broken, leave the door where it is and stop using the opener. An opener is not built to lift a door that has lost its springs.
  3. Don't loosen or adjust springs, cables or the bottom brackets. They hold the door's weight under high tension.
  4. Pull the emergency release only with the door fully closed. A door with a broken spring can drop suddenly if it is released while open.

Salt air is hard on garage door hardware

Close to the coast, salty air and humidity speed up corrosion on the steel parts of a garage door: springs, cables, hinges, rollers and track. Rust adds friction. A door that drags makes the opener work harder, and corroded springs and cables are more likely to fail without much warning.

Regular inspection and lubrication of the moving metal parts slows that down and catches a frayed cable or a rusting spring before it breaks.

Garage door maintenance
One system, not one part

What a repair visit looks at

A garage door's springs, cables, rollers and opener work together. When one part fails, the parts around it are worth checking too.

Balance

Whether the springs still carry the door's weight, so it doesn't drop or strain the opener.

Springs & cables

Wear, rust, fraying and how the cables sit on their drums.

Rollers & track

Worn rollers, loose brackets, and bent or misaligned track.

Opener & sensors

The opener's force settings and its auto-reverse safety system.

Common questions

Before you call

More garage door questions

Is a broken garage door an emergency?

It is when the car is trapped inside, when the door won't close and the house is left open, or when a spring or cable has broken and the door isn't safe to move. In any of those cases, stop using the door and call.

Can I replace a broken spring myself?

It isn't a safe job to learn on. A torsion spring stores enough energy to cause serious injury when it is wound or released, and replacing one takes winding bars and the right spring for the door's weight.

Why won't my door close when the power is out?

The opener needs power to run. Some openers have a battery backup. Without one, a door with working springs can be closed by hand using the emergency release. Release it only with the door down, or have someone hold it.

Door stuck? Call Momentum, day or night.
