What causes stuck doors in garage doors?

Several factors can cause garage doors to become stuck. The most common causes include: 1. **Broken torsion or extension springs**: These are under extreme tension and can snap over time, making the door too heavy to lift. 2. **Misaligned or damaged tracks**: Dents, bends, or debris in the tracks prevent smooth door movement. 3. **Worn or broken cables**: These cables help lift the door and can fray or break from wear. 4. **Motor or opener malfunctions**: This includes gear failures, circuit board problems, or motor burnout. 5. **Obstructions in the track or sensor path**: Items blocking the door's path or dirty safety sensors can prevent operation. 6. **Weather-related issues**: Ice buildup or warped panels from temperature changes, especially common in our Columbia River Gorge winters. 7. **Lack of lubrication**: Dry moving parts cause friction and binding. Our technicians can quickly diagnose the root cause and provide lasting solutions backed by our 3-year warranty.
