How does a garage door actually work?
A garage door has two main systems: a mechanical counterbalance system and an electric opener system. The spring system does the heavy lifting, while the opener mainly provides convenience.

Why won't my garage door close?
A door that won't close usually points to a sensor, track, opener-setting, spring, or cable issue — not just a stubborn door.
Why won't my garage door open?
A garage door may stop opening because of a broken spring, opener issue, disconnected cable, sensor problem, power issue, or a door that is out of balance.
Why did my garage door spring break?
Garage door springs wear out from repeated cycles. A broken spring can make the door very heavy and unsafe to lift or force with the opener.
Why did my garage door cable come off or break?
A cable can come off the drum or snap because of a broken spring, uneven door movement, worn or rusted cable, damaged drum, or the door being operated while out of balance.
How do I choose the right opener for my garage door?
Choosing the right opener depends on door balance, size, weight, construction, track setup, and the features you need — not just horsepower.
