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

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

Look at the torsion spring on the shaft above the door opening in Selmont-West Selmont, AL.

Call EZ Open for same-day broken spring repair in Selmont-West Selmont.

Forcing a door with a broken cable can release the door suddenly in Selmont-West Selmont. The cost of the forced damage adds to whatever the original repair cost would have been in Selmont-West Selmont, AL.
