What makes a garage door stuck rather than just slow

Garage door that will not move in Richmond, TX: testing the door balance

Richmond straddles the Brazos River, with Richmond Landing connected via US Highway 90A, and hardware that's taken on floodwater in past years can seize at rollers, hinges and track brackets long after the water is gone — a stuck garage door in one of these homes sometimes traces back to corrosion rather than a fresh mechanical failure.

Richmond ordered mandatory evacuations for flood-prone areas on August 27, 2017 as Harvey approached, and residents across the city faced repeated flood decisions in the years leading up to it — homes that took on water during those events are more likely to have hardware that's slowly seized in the years since. Some doors with this problem actually have garage door wont open Richmond repair instead.
