Garage doors are made up of multiple mechanical and electronic components that work together under high tension. When one part fails, it often causes symptoms that look similar — such as a door that won’t open, makes loud noises, or moves unevenly — but the underlying issue can vary significantly.

For example, a garage door that won’t open could be caused by a broken spring, a snapped cable, a misaligned safety sensor, or an opener malfunction. Each issue requires a different repair approach, tools, and safety precautions. Attempting the wrong fix can lead to further damage or serious injury.

Professional garage door service ensures the correct problem is identified and safely repaired the first time. Below, you’ll find a service decision guide to help you understand which solution best fits your situation.
