What should you do when your garage door wont open

There are many reasons for garage doors to not open or close. One of the reasons here in michigan is that the garage door doesn't open during the winter, When the weather outside is snowy, an ice layer is formed between the rubber strip in the bottom panel to the ground. And when you try to press the remote/wall button the garage door doesn't open, because the door sticks to the ground, as a result, the top panel can get bent and split on the middle. In this situation, we do not recommend that you keeps press the button. We do have a solution for it. Boil hot water, and carefully pour the hot water all the way down the bottom panel from both side, wait 3-5 minutes for the ice to thaw, pull the emergency cord and carefully open the door in manual position.

The springs are broken

One of the most common reasons your garage door won’t open is that the springs snapped. Most springs are built to last approximately 10,000 cycles of opening and closing, which lasts on average between 5-10 years. How can I tell if my garage springs are not working? When garage door springs break, a loud, startling noise is heard. There are two types of garage door springs: Torsion springs - which can be found lying horizontally above the garage door. To identify a break, look for gaps in- between the springs. Extension springs - which can be found on the sides of garage doors. If they are not functioning, they will hang limply in their housing. Continuing to operate a garage door with broken springs can cause permanent damage to the motor, operating arm, and panels. Garage door springs are tightly wound and under a tremendous amount of pressure. Attempting to fix them without the proper training can cause serious injury. It is essential to employ the services of a professional with the proper training and equipment. Different types of garage doors require different spring sizes. If the springs are the wrong size, or if they are not installed correctly the door could malfunction and impact the entire garage door expert. We ensure that the right springs are installed properly on your garage door system. Not only will we replace the springs, we will also ensure that your garage door is properly weighted, balanced, and lubricated at no extra cost to you.
