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

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

Look at the torsion spring on the shaft above the door opening in Grosse Pointe Woods, MI.

Call EZ Open for same-day broken spring repair in Grosse Pointe Woods.
