Garage Door Doesn T Go Down

It was late in the evening.

Garage door doesn t go down.

My wife had just come home. For those who are unfamiliar with how garage door sensors work there are two sensors each. Depending on the brand. If that point is more than four feet or less than three feet above the ground you will need to balance the door.

If you ve checked the door springs and the track for obstacles and those things appear to be fine check to see if the lock on the door is engaged. Clutter or obstructions that block the sensor are the first problems to look for if your door won t close or in extreme cases open at all. My tools are in the garage. Force your garage door closed.

If there is one problem even more dangerous than broken springs on a garage door assembly it would be a broken cable. If the door goes up but you can t make it go down you probably need to adjust the sensors. First check the sensor lights. Garage door does not close.

If your garage door doesn t open but the opener motor runs for just a few seconds and then shuts off the garage door itself may have manually been locked. The garage door did not want to close when she pressed the button on the remote. While the extension springs provide tension as the door is raised and lowered the cables that align with each tension spring are responsible for the physical act of bringing the door up and down. If you ve tried everything listed above and your garage door still won t go down you.

Move the garage door up and down until you find a place where the door stays suspended when you let go. Leaving it open all night is not a. It had worked just fine a few hours earlier.
