A garage door that won't open or close can stem from several issues, broadly categorized into mechanical and opener-related problems. Mechanical issues often include a broken spring, cables, hinge, or roller, balance problems, binding, physical obstructions, failing door sections, or levers accidentally left in a locked position. Opener-related issues might involve a malfunctioning remote or keypad, a disrupted signal, defective sensors or module, incorrect force adjustments, worn motor, or problems with the belt, chain, gears, or sprockets. Learn more about why your garage door won't open or won't close.
