Nothing can be more frustrating and annoying
than trying to get out or in your home, and your garage door is stuck. Keep in
mind that there are many reasons why the garage door may not open, ranging from
broken tension springs to a misalignment of the tracks. Also, it is important
to identify the problem and see if you can fix the issue yourself, or if it is
time to call the professionals.
Here are some common reasons your garage door
may not open up.
Disrupted Power Source
Another common reason your garage door won’t
open is when someone disrupts the power source. Sometimes, homeowners mess up
their garage power source without even knowing it. To avoid this problem, make
sure your garage door opener is always plugged into a power outlet.
Broken Tension Springs
Note that your garage door springs may be
broken or damaged if the transmitters are working properly and your garage door
still will not go up. So, keep in mind that if you hear firecrackers go off in
the garage and it is not the 4th of July or Halloween, then you probably heard
a tension spring break!
Note that most garage doors now come with one
or multiple torsion springs, and with time they will eventually break. Also,
once these springs break, it will put a lot of tension on your door cables, and
if not fixed adequately, those may break too.
So, if you have a broken spring, you should
call the professionals at Titan

Your Garage Door is Locked
This can be a garage user’s fault since the
door may be functioning adequately, but it’s locked. You can quickly
troubleshoot your garage door by checking if there are any metallic parts that
are making the door hard to open. You can use the knob to easily disengage the
lock, and open your door at ease.
