A garage door that won't open in Reading 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.

A garage door won't open rarely happens in a vacuum. Reading's freezing winters wears doors down — snow & ice jam tracks — and we get a clear run of these calls every January cold snap. A local pro fixes the underlying cause and backs it with a one-year warranty.

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.
