If the door is very heavy or won't hold a raised position, the spring has failed and the opener symptom is a consequence of the spring failure in Central Garage, VA. If the door won't move at all manually, the door is physically stuck from a cable failure, track obstruction, or off-track condition in Central Garage. Three completely different repair paths determined by a thirty-second test in Central Garage, VA. This test is why EZ Open doesn't replace the opener when the spring is the problem in Central Garage.

The result of the manual lift immediately narrows the cause to one of three categories in Central Garage. It takes thirty seconds and prevents misdiagnosis in Central Garage, VA.
If the manual lift reveals a heavy door that won't hold its position, the spring system has failed in Central Garage. EZ Open visually confirms the spring failure by inspecting the torsion spring for a visible gap in the coil in Central Garage, VA. Both cables are assessed simultaneously for condition and drum seating in Central Garage. If the spring is broken and a cable is also broken from the shock load, both are addressed together in Central Garage, VA.
If the manual lift reveals a door that lifts easily and holds its position, the door hardware is functioning correctly in Central Garage, VA. The opener is the source of the symptom in Central Garage. EZ Open proceeds to the opener isolation sequence in Central Garage, VA. Remote first. Wall button second. Trolley carriage connection third. Opener component assessment fourth in Central Garage.
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 Central Garage. EZ Open assesses the track for obstructions, damage, and misalignment in Central Garage, VA. Both cables are inspected for failure that may have caused the door to jam in the track in Central Garage. Rollers are assessed for any that may have jumped the track channel in Central Garage, VA.
The manual release test result determines which of three completely different repair paths applies in Central Garage, VA. Door too heavy means spring repair in Central Garage. Door lifts freely means opener assessment in Central Garage, VA. Door won't move means physical blockage assessment in Central Garage. Without this test, every won't-open situation looks the same from the outside in Central Garage, VA. With it, the correct diagnostic path is established in thirty seconds in Central Garage.
A broken torsion spring removes the counterbalancing force that makes the door movable by the opener in Central Garage, VA. The opener provides 10 to 20 pounds of net lifting force against a counterbalanced door in Central Garage. Without spring counterbalancing, the opener is trying to lift 150 to 400 pounds with 10 to 20 pounds of force in Central Garage, VA. The manual release test reveals a heavy door that won't hold its position in Central Garage. A visible gap in the torsion spring coil confirms the break in Central Garage, VA.
A broken cable allows one side of the door to drop, tilting the door in the track in Central Garage. The tilted door is physically jammed against the track walls and can't travel in either direction in Central Garage, VA. The manual release test reveals a door that won't move at all in Central Garage. Inspection finds a loose cable at the bottom corner of the lower side in Central Garage, VA. Cable replacement and spring assessment are required in Central Garage.
A failed opener component prevents the opener from producing the force needed to move the door in Central Garage. The manual release test reveals a door that lifts easily and holds its position in Central Garage, VA. The door hardware is functioning correctly in Central Garage. The opener is the source of the symptom in Central Garage, VA. Component assessment identifies the specific failed component in Central Garage.
The emergency release cord disconnects the trolley carriage from the trolley in Central Garage. If the carriage was disconnected and not reconnected, the opener runs the trolley along the rail while the carriage and door sit stationary in Central Garage, VA. The door appears completely unopened and unresponsive in Central Garage. The manual release test reveals a door that lifts easily because the carriage is already disconnected in Central Garage, VA. Reconnecting the carriage to the trolley resolves the symptom immediately in Central Garage. No component is damaged or failed in Central Garage, VA.

If the door opens with the wall button but not the remote, replace the remote battery before calling for service in Central Garage, VA. A new battery resolves this in approximately two minutes in Central Garage. 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 Central Garage, VA.
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 Central Garage. The frozen bond holds the door to the floor despite the opener providing its normal lifting force in Central Garage, VA. The manual release test typically reveals a door that's very difficult to lift manually as the ice bond resists upward force in Central Garage. Gentle heat application at the floor seal breaks the ice bond in most cases in Central Garage, VA. Do not run the opener repeatedly against a frozen door in Central Garage.
An object in the track, debris accumulation at a specific point, or a bent track section narrows the channel below the roller diameter in Central Garage. The door opens to the obstruction point and stops in Central Garage, VA. The manual release test may show the door lifting partially and then stopping at the obstruction in Central Garage.

If the wall button opens the door, the problem is with the remote rather than the door or opener in Central Garage. Replace the remote battery first in Central Garage, VA. If the wall button also produces no response, the problem is in the opener or door hardware and EZ Open's service is needed in Central Garage.
Look at the opener trolley and the carriage bracket that connects to the door in Central Garage. If the carriage hook is hanging freely rather than engaged in the trolley, the emergency release was pulled and not reconnected in Central Garage, VA.
