Figuring out if it's the door or the opener stopping Barrett's garage from opening

Disconnect the opener and try lifting the door by hand. If it won't budge even then, the problem is mechanical — almost certainly a spring that's broken or too weak to do its job. If it lifts partway on its own but the opener motor is clearly straining, the opener is fighting a losing battle against a door the spring can no longer support. That one test is what any garage door won't open call in Barrett should start with.
