A garage door that won't open in Lafayette is one of the most common calls we get, and the cause is almost always one of a handful of culprits. Most are same-day fixes once a tech sees the door.

Why does this keep happening in Lafayette? A lot of it comes down to the local climate. Heat and Gulf humidity takes its toll — humidity rusts springs & cables, and storm season batters doors — so a garage door won't open is one of the more common calls our Lafayette crews run.

What might be wrong

Common causes when your garage door won't open

Here's what our local techs check first — and what each one usually means.

A broken spring
If you heard a loud bang recently, a snapped torsion spring is the likely reason the opener can no longer lift the door.
Dead remote or keypad batteries
The simplest fix of all — fresh batteries in the remote or keypad often bring it right back to life.
Misaligned or blocked safety sensors
If the photo-eye sensors near the floor are bumped or dirty, the opener may refuse to run.
A burned-out or unplugged opener
Power loss, a tripped breaker, or a failed opener motor will leave the door dead.
