What a broken garage door in Fifth Street is usually doing when it fails

Most calls fall into one of three patterns: the door won't budge because a spring has let go and the opener can't lift the weight alone, the door has come off its rollers and is sitting crooked in the frame, or the opener runs but the door doesn't move because a cable or drum has failed. None of the three get fixed by pressing the button again — each one needs the failed part identified and swapped before the door is safe to run.
