More about this in Jersey Village

When a garage door chain won't close the door, the trolley is either slipping on a worn chain, skipping teeth on a stripped sprocket, or the chain has come off the sprocket entirely — the motor runs, but nothing actually pulls the door down. This fault is one of several covered under Jersey Village garage door company.

Call (346) 220-4724 before the motor keeps running against a chain that isn't doing its job.

Why the motor runs but the door doesn't move

A slack or slipping chain lets the trolley travel without fully engaging the sprocket teeth, so the motor spins but the door barely moves or stalls partway. A chain that's derailed off the sprocket entirely will leave the door completely still while the unit runs like normal — a clear sign to stop pressing the button.
