If the manual lift reveals a heavy door that won't hold its position, the spring system has failed in Dodge Center. EZ Open visually confirms the spring failure by inspecting the torsion spring for a visible gap in the coil in Dodge Center, MN.

If the spring is broken and a cable is also broken from the shock load, both are addressed together in Dodge Center, MN.

EZ Open assesses the track for obstructions, damage, and misalignment in Dodge Center, MN. Both cables are inspected for failure that may have caused the door to jam in the track in Dodge Center. Rollers are assessed for any that may have jumped the track channel in Dodge Center, MN.
The manual release test result determines which of three completely different repair paths applies in Dodge Center, MN. Door too heavy means spring repair in Dodge Center.

Without this test, every won't-open situation looks the same from the outside in Dodge Center, MN. With it, the correct diagnostic path is established in thirty seconds in Dodge Center.
A broken torsion spring removes the counterbalancing force that makes the door movable by the opener in Dodge Center, MN. The opener provides 10 to 20 pounds of net lifting force against a counterbalanced door in Dodge Center.

If the door opens with the wall button but not the remote, replace the remote battery before calling for service in Dodge Center, MN.

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 Dodge Center. The frozen bond holds the door to the floor despite the opener providing its normal lifting force in Dodge Center, MN. The manual release test typically reveals a door that's very difficult to lift manually as the ice bond resists upward force in Dodge Center.
