What might be wrong

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

A broken spring or cable

Without full spring tension, the opener can lift the door only partway before it stalls.

A roller off the track

If a roller jumps the track, the door binds and stops mid-travel.

An obstruction or worn opener gear

Debris in the track or a stripped opener gear can halt the door.
