The diagnostic sequence determines everything in Durand. EZ Open performs the manual release test first on every won't-open call in Durand, MI. The emergency release cord is pulled to disconnect the door from the opener trolley in Durand. The door is manually lifted in Durand, MI. If the door lifts easily and holds its position, the opener is the source of the problem in Durand. 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 Durand, MI. 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 Durand. Three completely different repair paths determined by a thirty-second test in Durand, MI. This test is why EZ Open doesn't replace the opener when the spring is the problem in Durand.

The manual release test costs thirty seconds and tells EZ Open which of the three repair paths applies to the specific situation in Durand.

The manual release cord disconnects the door from the opener trolley in Durand, MI. With the trolley disconnected, the door can be manually lifted without the opener in Durand. EZ Open performs this test before examining the opener, before examining the spring, and before examining anything else in Durand, MI. The result of the manual lift immediately narrows the cause to one of three categories in Durand. It takes thirty seconds and prevents misdiagnosis in Durand, MI.
If the manual lift reveals a heavy door that won't hold its position, the spring system has failed in Durand. EZ Open visually confirms the spring failure by inspecting the torsion spring for a visible gap in the coil in Durand, MI. Both cables are assessed simultaneously for condition and drum seating in Durand. If the spring is broken and a cable is also broken from the shock load, both are addressed together in Durand, MI.
If the manual lift reveals a door that lifts easily and holds its position, the door hardware is functioning correctly in Durand, MI. The opener is the source of the symptom in Durand. EZ Open proceeds to the opener isolation sequence in Durand, MI. Remote first. Wall button second. Trolley carriage connection third. Opener component assessment fourth in Durand.
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 Durand. EZ Open assesses the track for obstructions, damage, and misalignment in Durand, MI. Both cables are inspected for failure that may have caused the door to jam in the track in Durand. Rollers are assessed for any that may have jumped the track channel in Durand, MI.
The manual release test result determines which of three completely different repair paths applies in Durand, MI. Door too heavy means spring repair in Durand. Door lifts freely means opener assessment in Durand, MI. Door won't move means physical blockage assessment in Durand. Without this test, every won't-open situation looks the same from the outside in Durand, MI. With it, the correct diagnostic path is established in thirty seconds in Durand.
A broken torsion spring removes the counterbalancing force that makes the door movable by the opener in Durand, MI. The opener provides 10 to 20 pounds of net lifting force against a counterbalanced door in Durand. Without spring counterbalancing, the opener is trying to lift 150 to 400 pounds with 10 to 20 pounds of force in Durand, MI. The manual release test reveals a heavy door that won't hold its position in Durand. A visible gap in the torsion spring coil confirms the break in Durand, MI.
A broken cable allows one side of the door to drop, tilting the door in the track in Durand. The tilted door is physically jammed against the track walls and can't travel in either direction in Durand, MI. The manual release test reveals a door that won't move at all in Durand. Inspection finds a loose cable at the bottom corner of the lower side in Durand, MI. Cable replacement and spring assessment are required in Durand.
A failed opener component prevents the opener from producing the force needed to move the door in Durand. The manual release test reveals a door that lifts easily and holds its position in Durand, MI. The door hardware is functioning correctly in Durand. The opener is the source of the symptom in Durand, MI. Component assessment identifies the specific failed component in Durand.
The emergency release cord disconnects the trolley carriage from the trolley in Durand. If the carriage was disconnected and not reconnected, the opener runs the trolley along the rail while the carriage and door sit stationary in Durand, MI. The door appears completely unopened and unresponsive in Durand. The manual release test reveals a door that lifts easily because the carriage is already disconnected in Durand, MI. Reconnecting the carriage to the trolley resolves the symptom immediately in Durand. No component is damaged or failed in Durand, MI.
A door that has come off its track has a roller outside the track channel creating a physical blockage in Durand, MI. The door can't travel in either direction through the blockage in Durand. The manual release test reveals a door that won't move at all in Durand, MI. Visual inspection finds the roller or rollers outside the track channel in Durand. Off-track repair with cause identification is required before the door can open correctly in Durand, MI.
A dead remote battery produces a door that doesn't respond to the remote in Durand, MI. The wall button will operate the door normally in Durand. If the door opens with the wall button but not the remote, replace the remote battery before calling for service in Durand, MI. A new battery resolves this in approximately two minutes in Durand. 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 Durand, MI.
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 Durand. The frozen bond holds the door to the floor despite the opener providing its normal lifting force in Durand, MI. The manual release test typically reveals a door that's very difficult to lift manually as the ice bond resists upward force in Durand. Gentle heat application at the floor seal breaks the ice bond in most cases in Durand, MI. Do not run the opener repeatedly against a frozen door in Durand.
An object in the track, debris accumulation at a specific point, or a bent track section narrows the channel below the roller diameter in Durand. The door opens to the obstruction point and stops in Durand, MI. The manual release test may show the door lifting partially and then stopping at the obstruction in Durand. Track clearing or track repair is required to restore full travel in Durand, MI.
Before any other action, try the wall button inside the garage in Durand, MI. If the wall button opens the door, the problem is with the remote rather than the door or opener in Durand. Replace the remote battery first in Durand, MI. 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 Durand.
Look at the opener trolley and the carriage bracket that connects to the door in Durand. If the carriage hook is hanging freely rather than engaged in the trolley, the emergency release was pulled and not reconnected in Durand, MI. Pull the red emergency release cord toward the door to re-engage the carriage in Durand. If the door then opens with the opener, no repair was needed in Durand, MI.
Look at the torsion spring on the shaft above the door opening in Durand, MI. A broken spring has a visible gap in the otherwise continuous coil where the wire separated in Durand. If a gap is visible, do not attempt to open the door in Durand, MI. Call EZ Open for same-day broken spring repair in Durand.
Running the opener repeatedly against a door that won't open risks stripping the drive gear in Durand. Manually pulling a door that's jammed from a cable failure or off-track condition can damage the panel at the force application point in Durand, MI. Forcing a door with a broken cable can release the door suddenly in Durand. The cost of the forced damage adds to whatever the original repair cost would have been in Durand, MI.

If not, use the manual release cord carefully with at least one other person present in Durand, MI. With a broken spring, the door is very heavy and will not hold a raised position in Durand.
