More about this in Copperfield

A stuck garage door lock won't slide either direction — not locking, not unlocking — usually because rust or old grease has hardened inside the guide channel the bar rides in. Forcing it at that point risks bending the bar rather than freeing it. This fault is one of several covered under garage door repair near Copperfield.

Call (346) 220-4724 before applying more force to a bar that won't move.

Why penetrating oil on the door lock isn't always enough

A lock that's been seized for a long time often needs the guide channel itself cleaned out, not just the bar lubricated, since the buildup causing the jam is usually inside the channel where oil alone can't reach it easily.
