 If your garage door won't open, check if it is locked. Homeowners often lock their garage doors for security reasons, protecting their families, preventing accidental openings, and safeguarding valuables. It's easy to forget if you've locked the garage door, so simply unlocking it should resolve the issue. 

  Attempt Manual Opening If the garage door is unlocked and still won't budge, try manually opening it. Locate the red emergency release cable situated above the front of the garage door. Pulling this cable will disengage the opener, allowing you to manually lift and close the door. 

 If the door opens after disengaging the opener, it suggests a problem with the garage door opener itself. Ensure that your garage door is securely plugged into an outlet. If it is, check if the circuit breaker has tripped. If the circuit breaker is off, it indicates an electrical issue. Leave it off and contact us for repairs. 

Check Garage Door Remote Batteries If the garage door opener is not the culprit and the door still won't open, check the batteries in your garage door remote. While they generally last a long time, eventually, they will need to be replaced. When the batteries die, it becomes nearly impossible to open the garage door from your vehicle. 

Inspect the Garage Door Track If you're still facing difficulties with opening the garage door, inspect the tracks. Look for any dirt, debris, or old lubricant buildup that could obstruct the smooth movement of the rollers along the tracks.

Additionally, check for dents, bumps, or warping on the tracks. If you notice damage, contact your trusted garage door specialist. The professionals at GDR Installations can help replace the track or repair minor dents and warping.

Examine the Garage Door Spring A broken garage door spring can leave your door stuck. Look for the spring above the top or sides of the garage door. If the spring appears sagging on its torsion bar or safety cable, with a gap in the middle or the spring itself, it is likely broken.

Replacing a garage door spring should never be attempted on your own. Leave this task to the trusted garage door technicians, as interfering with the springs can lead to serious injury or further damage to the door.
