If your door is stuck or crooked

  1. Stop using the opener. Running it again can bend the track and the door panels.
  2. Keep people, pets and cars out from under the door.
  3. Don't try to force the rollers back into the track or pull on the cables.
  4. If the door is stuck open, leave it where it is rather than trying to lower it by hand.
  5. Call us and tell us how the door is sitting.

Common causes

  • A car or mower bumping the door or the track
  • A snapped or frayed lift cable
  • A broken spring that throws the door off balance
  • Worn rollers or loose track brackets
  • Something in the way when the door came down
