Garage Door Will Not Open Checklist for Lake Havasu City, AZ

Use this checklist when a garage door will not open in Lake Havasu City, AZ. These are look-and-stop items. They are not spring adjustments.

1. Listen. A bang earlier, or a hum with no movement, means stop. That is often a spring. Go to broken spring signs.
2. Look at the door. Crooked, a roller out of the track, or a cable hanging means stop. Do not pull the red release. See off-track doors.
3. Try the wall button, not just the remote. If the wall button works, the remote or the keypad is the smaller problem. See remotes and sensors.
4. Check photo eyes. Lenses clean, brackets straight, indicator light steady. Do not tape over them.
5. Check the obvious power items. Opener plugged in, lock switch off, slide lock open.
6. Feel the door only if it is still on the track and looks even. If it is suddenly very heavy, stop. Do not disconnect the opener.
7. Call. Tell us Lake Havasu City or Desert Hills, what you saw, and whether a car is trapped. Free phone estimate at 928-427-7724.

Same-day is the goal when the parts match. After-hours is by request if the house is open or you cannot get the car out. We are not a standing 24/7 shop.

The opener hums and the door does not move. Now what?
