How to Fix a Stuck Garage Door

A garage door that won’t open or close is almost always fixable without calling a technician.

What Causes a Stuck Garage Door? Dead batteries in the remote, misaligned sensors, or a broken spring.

Step 1: Check the remote batteries first — replace them.

Step 2: Check the sensors at the bottom of the door — clean them with a dry cloth.

Step 3: Make sure nothing is blocking the sensor path.

Step 4: Lubricate the tracks and rollers with garage door lubricant.

Step 5: If the spring is broken — call a professional. Springs are dangerous to replace.
