Common Causes of Garage Doors that are Stuck Closed

There are several potential causes of a garage door that is stuck closed, including:

Broken Springs

Springs are responsible for balancing the weight of the garage door and making it easier to open and close. When the springs break, it can cause the door to become stuck closed or difficult to lift.

Blocked Tracks

The tracks on which the garage door runs can become obstructed by debris or other objects, causing the door to become stuck.

Malfunctioning Opener

If your garage door opener is malfunctioning or not working properly, it may not be able to lift the door, causing it to become stuck closed.

Damaged Rollers

The rollers on which the garage door moves up and down can become damaged or worn over time, causing the door to become stuck.

Bent or Misaligned Tracks

The tracks that guide the garage door up and down can become bent or misaligned, causing the door to become stuck and difficult to move.

If you are experiencing a garage door that is stuck closed, it is important to call a professional garage door repair company to diagnose and fix the issue. Attempting to fix the problem yourself can be dangerous and may cause further damage to the door or its components.

Safe Garage Door Repairs

At Automatic Garage Solutions, our top priority is the safety of our clients and technicians.
Here are some safety precautions we keep in mind:

Disconnect the power

Our technicians always start by turning off the power to the garage door opener and unplugging it from the electrical outlet. This ensures that there is no electricity flowing through the opener, minimising the risk of electrical shock.

Check the springs

Before attempting any repairs on the springs, we will check for any signs of damage or wear. If the springs are found to be broken or damaged, we are able to replace them with new ones. Our technicians are trained to handle broken springs safely and have the necessary tools to do so.

Secure the door

When working on a stuck garage door, the technicians make sure to secure it in the closed position using locking pliers or c-clamps. This prevents the door from accidentally opening and causing injury while they are working on it.

Use proper tools

Our technicians use specialised tools and equipment designed for garage door repairs to ensure the job is done safely and efficiently. They also wear gloves and safety glasses to protect their hands and eyes from any potential hazards.

If you’re not experienced with garage door repairs, it’s best to leave it to the professionals. Attempting to fix a stuck garage door on your own can be dangerous and can cause further damage to your door.
