More about this in Cumings

A stuck garage door lock usually means the slide bolt or T-handle mechanism has shifted just enough to bind against the track guide, not that the lock itself is broken. Forcing it tends to bend the bar, which turns a five-minute fix into a full lock replacement. The main page on garage door repair in Cumings lists every problem this site covers here.

Call (346) 220-4724 before anyone leans on the handle or grabs a hammer.

Why a stuck garage door lock resists the key

A slide-bolt lock rides inside a track guide welded to the door, and if that guide has shifted even slightly out of line, the bolt catches on its way in or out — the same motion that used to be smooth suddenly needs force, and force is exactly what bends it further.
