Garage door will not open in Asheville
If your garage door won’t open, a few simple observations may help you decide what to do next. Don’t force the door or handle its springs or cables.
What might be keeping the door shut?
Possible causes include a dead remote battery, an opener without power, an engaged lock, an obstruction near the safety sensors, or a problem with the opener or door hardware. A technician can identify the cause.
Safe things to notice
Try the normal wall control and note whether the opener makes a sound or the door moves at all. You can check the remote battery and look for an obvious obstruction near the floor-level sensors. Don’t move door hardware or attempt to adjust springs, cables, or electrical parts.
When to contact a repair professional
Contact a garage door repair professional if the door is crooked, feels unusually heavy, stops partway, or the opener runs without moving it. Stop using it if you notice a damaged spring or cable; don’t try to release or repair those parts yourself.
