More about this in Cumings

A broken garage door lock has usually failed inside the mechanism itself — a sheared bolt, a cracked housing, or a bent bar that no longer slides — rather than anything a new key would fix. Trying to force a broken lock closed tends to bend the bar further. Everything here sits under the wider guide to residential garage door repair Cumings.

Call (346) 220-4724 before forcing the handle or the bolt.
