Attached garage

If you can’t open your overhead door in Stamford, and your garage is attached to the house, which mean that you can access the garage from a different door other than the overhead door, you may be able to locate the reason that stop your overhead door in Stamford from opening. Starting from a problem with the garage motor, through a spring that snapped, to a snapped cable, if your overhead door in Stamford is locked, you may find few reasons and solutions in our post. You may be wondering why is it impossible for the motor to open the door when the garage motor is not broken, and we would like to explain. If you ever tried to use your overhead door manually, you probably noticed how easy it is to open and close the door, even if the door is very heavy. The reason why it is so easy to open even the heavy overhead doors in Stamford CT is the spring system. What make most of the lifting, and what balance the overhead door, and stop the door from crushing to the ground is the spring system. The garage operator is doing only small amount of lifting the door. So when the spring break, the garage motor may not be able lift the door.
If your garage opener can’t lift the door, there may be nothing wrong with the motor, but one of the springs, or one of the overhead door cable snapped, which has the same effect on the door as if one of the springs broke. If the spring of the overhead door you own snapped, contact local overhead door company in Stamford to come and replace the spring for you. It can be a broken torsion spring, or extension spring, a qualified technician should have the ability to deal with both.

The garage coil spring snapped

If the one or both springs snapped, the motor won’t be able to open the door, or you may notice that it can barely open the door. The reason is – as we explained earlier – that the motor never lift the door by itself, but just give the door that little push or pull that help it open. If one of the overhead door spring broke, you will have to replace it before you will be able to use the door again, and you better use the serviced of garage door expert in Stamford. In most cases when the spring snap, it happen when the door is down (Closed) since this is the point that there is the most tension on the door. But now that the spring snapped, it is difficult for the motor (Or for you) to open the door. With our emergency overhead door service in Stamford, we can open the door and repair it for you within hours.

The cable snapped

The effect of broken cable is the same as the effect that a broken spring has on the door.
