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 Punta Gorda, FL. 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 Punta Gorda.

The result of the manual lift immediately narrows the cause to one of three categories in Punta Gorda. It takes thirty seconds and prevents misdiagnosis in Punta Gorda, FL.
If the manual lift reveals a heavy door that won't hold its position, the spring system has failed in Punta Gorda. EZ Open visually confirms the spring failure by inspecting the torsion spring for a visible gap in the coil in Punta Gorda, FL. Both cables are assessed simultaneously for condition and drum seating in Punta Gorda. If the spring is broken and a cable is also broken from the shock load, both are addressed together in Punta Gorda, FL.
If the manual lift reveals a door that lifts easily and holds its position, the door hardware is functioning correctly in Punta Gorda, FL. The opener is the source of the symptom in Punta Gorda. EZ Open proceeds to the opener isolation sequence in Punta Gorda, FL. Remote first. Wall button second. Trolley carriage connection third. Opener component assessment fourth in Punta Gorda.
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 Punta Gorda. EZ Open assesses the track for obstructions, damage, and misalignment in Punta Gorda, FL. Both cables are inspected for failure that may have caused the door to jam in the track in Punta Gorda. Rollers are assessed for any that may have jumped the track channel in Punta Gorda, FL.
The manual release test result determines which of three completely different repair paths applies in Punta Gorda, FL. Door too heavy means spring repair in Punta Gorda. Door lifts freely means opener assessment in Punta Gorda, FL. Door won't move means physical blockage assessment in Punta Gorda. Without this test, every won't-open situation looks the same from the outside in Punta Gorda, FL. With it, the correct diagnostic path is established in thirty seconds in Punta Gorda.
A broken torsion spring removes the counterbalancing force that makes the door movable by the opener in Punta Gorda, FL. The opener provides 10 to 20 pounds of net lifting force against a counterbalanced door in Punta Gorda. Without spring counterbalancing, the opener is trying to lift 150 to 400 pounds with 10 to 20 pounds of force in Punta Gorda, FL. The manual release test reveals a heavy door that won't hold its position in Punta Gorda. A visible gap in the torsion spring coil confirms the break in Punta Gorda, FL.
A broken cable allows one side of the door to drop, tilting the door in the track in Punta Gorda. The tilted door is physically jammed against the track walls and can't travel in either direction in Punta Gorda, FL. The manual release test reveals a door that won't move at all in Punta Gorda. Inspection finds a loose cable at the bottom corner of the lower side in Punta Gorda, FL. Cable replacement and spring assessment are required in Punta Gorda.

Reconnecting the carriage to the trolley resolves the symptom immediately in Punta Gorda. No component is damaged or failed in Punta Gorda, FL.

Visual inspection finds the roller or rollers outside the track channel in Punta Gorda. Off-track repair with cause identification is required before the door can open correctly in Punta Gorda, FL.
A dead remote battery produces a door that doesn't respond to the remote in Punta Gorda, FL. The wall button will operate the door normally in Punta Gorda. If the door opens with the wall button but not the remote, replace the remote battery before calling for service in Punta Gorda, FL. A new battery resolves this in approximately two minutes in Punta Gorda. 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 Punta Gorda, FL.
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 Punta Gorda. The frozen bond holds the door to the floor despite the opener providing its normal lifting force in Punta Gorda, FL. The manual release test typically reveals a door that's very difficult to lift manually as the ice bond resists upward force in Punta Gorda. Gentle heat application at the floor seal breaks the ice bond in most cases in Punta Gorda, FL. Do not run the opener repeatedly against a frozen door in Punta Gorda.

Replace the remote battery first in Punta Gorda, FL. 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 Punta Gorda.
Look at the opener trolley and the carriage bracket that connects to the door in Punta Gorda. If the carriage hook is hanging freely rather than engaged in the trolley, the emergency release was pulled and not reconnected in Punta Gorda, FL.
