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

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

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