Question 1

My garage door won’t open—what should I do first?

Accepted Answer

If the door is heavy, crooked, or makes a loud bang, stop using it and schedule service—this can indicate a broken spring or cable. If it’s an opener issue, check the safety sensors and try the wall button before forcing the door.

Question 2

Is it safe to replace a garage door spring myself?

Accepted Answer

Spring replacement can be dangerous due to stored tension. For safety and correct balancing, spring repairs are best handled by a trained technician with the right tools.
