Urgent garage door problems
- Car stuck in the garage after a spring snapped or the opener failed with the door down
- Door won’t close, leaving the garage and house exposed overnight
- Door crooked, off track or hanging by one cable
- Storm coming and the door won’t close or lock. In Florida’s hurricane code, the garage door is part of the home’s protection against wind pressure.
- Door damaged by wind or a vehicle, with bowed panels or bent track
Do this right now
- Stop pressing the remote. Running the opener against a broken spring or jammed door bends panels and strips gears. Unplug it.
- Stay clear of the door. A door with a broken spring or cable can drop suddenly.
- Leave the emergency release alone on an open door unless you’re sure both springs are intact.
- Secure the house if the door is stuck open: lock the interior door and move valuables out of sight.
- Photograph the springs above the door, the cables at the bottom corners and any damage.
Before a hurricane
When a storm is in the forecast, garage door calls on the Treasure Coast spike fast. If your door has a broken spring, won’t close fully or is off track, request service as early as possible. If your door has a removable bracing kit, have it ready; follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Never leave a garage door partly open during a storm. Once the storm passes, don’t run a door that’s bowed or out of its tracks until it has been checked. For long-term protection, see hurricane-rated garage doors.
What probably broke
| What happened | Likely cause |
|---|---|
| Loud bang, door won’t lift | Broken torsion spring |
| Door crooked, cable dangling | Snapped cable or off-track rollers |
| Motor runs, door doesn’t move | Stripped opener gear or disconnected trolley |
| Door reverses, light flashes | Misaligned or blocked safety sensors |
| Power out, door won’t open | No battery backup; use the manual release only if springs are intact |
