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 Fortuna Foothills, AZ. 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 Fortuna Foothills.

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

The opener is the source of the symptom in Fortuna Foothills. EZ Open proceeds to the opener isolation sequence in Fortuna Foothills, AZ. Remote first. Wall button second. Trolley carriage connection third. Opener component assessment fourth in Fortuna Foothills.
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 Fortuna Foothills. EZ Open assesses the track for obstructions, damage, and misalignment in Fortuna Foothills, AZ. Both cables are inspected for failure that may have caused the door to jam in the track in Fortuna Foothills. Rollers are assessed for any that may have jumped the track channel in Fortuna Foothills, AZ.
The manual release test result determines which of three completely different repair paths applies in Fortuna Foothills, AZ. Door too heavy means spring repair in Fortuna Foothills. Door lifts freely means opener assessment in Fortuna Foothills, AZ. Door won't move means physical blockage assessment in Fortuna Foothills. Without this test, every won't-open situation looks the same from the outside in Fortuna Foothills, AZ. With it, the correct diagnostic path is established in thirty seconds in Fortuna Foothills.
A broken torsion spring removes the counterbalancing force that makes the door movable by the opener in Fortuna Foothills, AZ. The opener provides 10 to 20 pounds of net lifting force against a counterbalanced door in Fortuna Foothills. Without spring counterbalancing, the opener is trying to lift 150 to 400 pounds with 10 to 20 pounds of force in Fortuna Foothills, AZ. The manual release test reveals a heavy door that won't hold its position in Fortuna Foothills. A visible gap in the torsion spring coil confirms the break in Fortuna Foothills, AZ.
A broken cable allows one side of the door to drop, tilting the door in the track in Fortuna Foothills. The tilted door is physically jammed against the track walls and can't travel in either direction in Fortuna Foothills, AZ. The manual release test reveals a door that won't move at all in Fortuna Foothills. Inspection finds a loose cable at the bottom corner of the lower side in Fortuna Foothills, AZ.

A dead remote battery produces a door that doesn't respond to the remote in Fortuna Foothills, AZ. The wall button will operate the door normally in Fortuna Foothills. If the door opens with the wall button but not the remote, replace the remote battery before calling for service in Fortuna Foothills, AZ. A new battery resolves this in approximately two minutes in Fortuna Foothills.

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 Fortuna Foothills. The frozen bond holds the door to the floor despite the opener providing its normal lifting force in Fortuna Foothills, AZ. The manual release test typically reveals a door that's very difficult to lift manually as the ice bond resists upward force in Fortuna Foothills. Gentle heat application at the floor seal breaks the ice bond in most cases in Fortuna Foothills, AZ. Do not run the opener repeatedly against a frozen door in Fortuna Foothills.
