A garage door that won't open in Riverside 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.

In Riverside, the weather is often part of the story behind a garage door won't open. Months of coastal salt air and inland heat mean salt air corrodes hardware and daily use wears rollers across Riverside County — exactly the kind of wear a local tech knows to check first.

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.
