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

An opener replacement when the cause is a broken spring wastes $300 to $600 and leaves the door still not working in Lithonia, GA. The manual release test costs thirty seconds and tells EZ Open which of the three repair paths applies to the specific situation in Lithonia.
A repair performed for the confirmed cause resolves the problem on the first visit in Lithonia.

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