Garage doors can be tricky to service and repair, so it's often best to contact a professional to assess your situation. Issues with your garage door not opening may be a simple fix that is easily explained, but there may also be a more serious issue, as explained below.
Consider the Easy Explanation: Your door may be locked. A blinking light on your door open button will indicate this. Depress the lock/unlock button until the blinking stops. If the motor runs but the door doesn't move, check to see that the safety release (red pull cord) hasn't been released. Some motors automatically re-engage it while others require a manual re-engagement.
Check for Serious Problems: If the motor labors hard but is barely or not opening the door, then you may have a broken spring. Release the door from the trolley by pulling the safety release pull cord and try to manually open the door. The door should open easily if your springs are in good condition. If the door feels very heavy, then a spring is likely broken. Never attempt to replace springs because they are very dangerous.
