If the manual lift reveals a heavy door that won't hold its position, the spring system has failed in Advance. EZ Open visually confirms the spring failure by inspecting the torsion spring for a visible gap in the coil in Advance, NC. Both cables are assessed simultaneously for condition and drum seating in Advance. If the spring is broken and a cable is also broken from the shock load, both are addressed together in Advance, NC.

EZ Open proceeds to the opener isolation sequence in Advance, NC. Remote first. Wall button second. Trolley carriage connection third. Opener component assessment fourth in Advance.
If the manual lift reveals a door that won't move at all, neither heavy nor light, just physically stopped, the door has a physical blockage in the travel path in Advance. EZ Open assesses the track for obstructions, damage, and misalignment in Advance, NC. Both cables are inspected for failure that may have caused the door to jam in the track in Advance. Rollers are assessed for any that may have jumped the track channel in Advance, NC.
The manual release test result determines which of three completely different repair paths applies in Advance, NC. Door too heavy means spring repair in Advance. Door lifts freely means opener assessment in Advance, NC. Door won't move means physical blockage assessment in Advance. Without this test, every won't-open situation looks the same from the outside in Advance, NC. With it, the correct diagnostic path is established in thirty seconds in Advance.
A broken torsion spring removes the counterbalancing force that makes the door movable by the opener in Advance, NC. The opener provides 10 to 20 pounds of net lifting force against a counterbalanced door in Advance. Without spring counterbalancing, the opener is trying to lift 150 to 400 pounds with 10 to 20 pounds of force in Advance, NC. The manual release test reveals a heavy door that won't hold its position in Advance. A visible gap in the torsion spring coil confirms the break in Advance, NC.

Inspection finds a loose cable at the bottom corner of the lower side in Advance, NC. Cable replacement and spring assessment are required in Advance.

If the door opens with the wall button but not the remote, replace the remote battery before calling for service in Advance, NC. A new battery resolves this in approximately two minutes in Advance. If the door doesn't respond to either the remote or the wall button, the problem is in the opener or door hardware and a service call is warranted in Advance, NC.
In cold climates, water from condensation or melting snow freezes at the contact point between the door's bottom seal and the garage floor overnight in Advance. The frozen bond holds the door to the floor despite the opener providing its normal lifting force in Advance, NC. The manual release test typically reveals a door that's very difficult to lift manually as the ice bond resists upward force in Advance. Gentle heat application at the floor seal breaks the ice bond in most cases in Advance, NC. Do not run the opener repeatedly against a frozen door in Advance.
