Why is my garage door jammed?
There are numerous reasons why your garage door may jam. Some may be obvious, while others might be hard to identify without an untrained eye. The technicians at Cal’s Garage Doors can help you detect what is jamming your garage door quickly. Reasons for a jammed garage door include:
- Track obstruction – If there is an obstruction in your garage door’s track, it may jam or remain stuck in place. Blockages can be anything from a broom handle to a rock but must be removed to restore function.
- Locked door – Check to see if you have inadvertently locked your garage door. Some systems have a full lock option that prohibits the door from opening or closing. Flipping the switch may solve your issues.
- Broken springs – Your garage may have torsion springs at the top of the door or extension springs on either side. If any springs are broken, your garage door will not raise properly.
- Door off track – Your garage door rollers may roll off their track. To restore function, you will need a professional to put them back in their place.
- Lack of lubrication – It is essential to lubricate your garage door’s track, opener chain, and springs regularly with approved lubricants. Ask our professionals about such products.
