More about this in Spring Valley Village
A garage door won't open when it will not move at all, or lifts a few inches and quits, and it's not always obvious whether the door or the opener is at fault. This is where to start when the symptom is simply "it will not open.". A fuller picture of garage door technician Spring Valley Village sits one level up from this page.
Call (346) 220-4724 and describe exactly what the door is doing.
A door that's been opening since 1955
The petition to incorporate Spring Valley Village was presented to Harris County Judge Bob Casey on December 14, 1954, and the vote to incorporate passed 183 to 165 on April 9, 1955. Houses that went up in the years right after that founding vote are now seven decades into their working life, and a garage door that has opened and closed daily since somewhere in that stretch is a door running on hardware well past any manufacturer's original rating.
William F. Cannon's city and its original doors
William F. Cannon was sworn in as the city's first mayor on June 30, 1955, alongside three aldermen, in a city that was still brand new. The garages built in that first wave of construction carried the springs, cables, and track hardware standard to the mid-1950s, and a door that's never had that original hardware replaced is the one most likely to simply stop lifting one day without warning. The write-up on fix a garage door won't close in Spring Valley Village covers a fault that often gets mistaken for this one.
Renamed twice, garage doors rarely touched
The city was renamed from Spring Valley to the City of Spring Valley on April 16, 1957, after its population passed 600, and renamed again to Spring Valley Village in 2007. A city can rename itself twice in seven decades far more easily than a homeowner replaces a working garage door, which is exactly why so much of the original hardware from those early years is still on the tracks today.
Door moves by hand, or it doesn't
If the door lifts by hand once it's disconnected from the opener, the problem is almost always the opener. If it won't budge even by hand, the weight is unbalanced — a spring, a cable, or a jammed track — and that's not a job to force.
