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

Every garage door won't-open situation has a specific cause in Kentfield. The specific cause determines the specific repair in Kentfield, CA. A spring replacement when the cause is a disconnected trolley wastes $150 to $250 and leaves the door still not working in Kentfield. An opener replacement when the cause is a broken spring wastes $300 to $600 and leaves the door still not working in Kentfield, CA. The manual release test costs thirty seconds and tells EZ Open which of the three repair paths applies to the specific situation in Kentfield.
A repair performed for the confirmed cause resolves the problem on the first visit in Kentfield.

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