Garage door won't open or close

There are a few different reasons your garage door is struggling to open or close. One of the most common issues is that the door's remote control or motor isn't working correctly. First step is to check the remote control batteries and that the motor unit is plugged in (and turned on at the wall).

Check around the garage door to see if there is anything obvious causing obstruction or interfering with the garage doors' operation. We always recommend calling a specialist if you require a garage door repair because sometimes it's more complex than meets the eye.
