If your garage door is not working, panic might quickly set in. You aren’t sure what the issue is and how much it is going to cost you in the long run. Is it a quick fix? Is it an expensive fix? Can it be fixed at all or do you need a new garage door? There are likely many questions floating through your mind, but thankfully, Carroll Garage Doors is here to help! Keep reading to learn more about the four most common reasons that your garage door might not be opening.
- The Batteries to Your Remote Are Dead The most common—and thankfully simplest—reason that your garage door will not open is due to the batteries in your transponder being dead. While technology has come a long way and batteries last a lot longer than they used to, they still need to be replaced. Try swapping out the batteries in your remote and see if that does the trick.
- The Garage Door Has a Broken Spring Another reason that your garage door might not be opening is that there is a broken spring. Your garage door is pretty heavy and relies on these springs to open and close them. If there is a spring broken, it will need to be fixed by a professional.
- Your Disconnect Switch is Enabled Most garage doors have a feature that enables you to pull a rope to activate the disconnect switch. This allows you to open and close the garage door without using the motor. However, if the disconnect switch is enabled, the garage door will not open when you push the button. If you hear the motor of your garage door opener motor running without the door moving, this might be the reason why.
- You Need a New Garage Door While there are many other reasons why your garage door isn’t opening, sometimes you actually do need a new garage door. Thankfully, Carroll Garage Doors offers stunning custom garage doors that can make your home truly stand out.
