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

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

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