Stuck Half-Open? in New Orleans, LA
Common Symptoms We See in New Orleans
If you recognize any of these signs, call before the problem turns into a bigger, more expensive repair.
Door stopped halfway and won't move
The opener tries but the door is jammed. A cable tangle or derailed roller is likely.
One side of the door is higher
The door is crooked — a cable has popped off the drum on one side. Don't force it.
Grinding noise when door moves
Metal-on-metal grinding means a roller is jammed in the track or a hinge has seized.
Door moves a little then jams
The door travels a few inches then stops hard. A bent track section or cable bind is catching it.
