Why a garage door won't open — narrowing it down fast

A door that won't move at all is almost always the spring, since without it neither a person nor the opener can lift the weight. A door that lifts partway and stops is more often the opener straining against something, or a track that's binding. Pulling the manual release cord and trying the door by hand is the fastest way to tell which side of that split a stuck door falls on.

Garage door that refuses to open in Channelview, TX: testing the door balance

Channelview's median home was built in 1990, and the estimated median home value has climbed from $61,500 in 2000 to $213,677 in 2024. Rising values mean more owners are keeping and improving houses from that era rather than tearing them down, which also means the original springs, cables and openers installed with those houses are still in service, aging out together rather than on a staggered schedule. Some doors with this problem actually have garage door won't close repair in Channelview instead.

What gets checked first on a garage door that won't open

Springs and cables get looked at before the opener, since a working opener can't move a door with a dead spring no matter what's wrong or right with the motor. Once the door itself is confirmed sound, the opener gets tested on its own — gears, logic board, travel limits — because a door that won't open with a good spring and a good opener is rare enough that something specific is usually the cause.
