Can't Get It Up? Let’s Talk About Your Garage Door

We get it—sometimes things just don’t rise to the occasion. But before you panic (or start questioning your garage door’s life choices), let’s diagnose why your door won’t lift and how we can help.

Common Reasons Your Garage Door Won’t "Get Up"

1. The Remote Isn’t in the Mood

Did you press the button and… nothing? Check the batteries—your remote might just need a little juice to get going. If that doesn’t work, try reprogramming it. Still no luck? Maybe it’s seeing someone else. (Or the sensors are misaligned. Probably that.)

2. The Springs Are Feeling Weak

If your door struggles to lift or slams shut like it just gave up on life, your garage door springs might be worn out. These bad boys do all the heavy lifting, and when they’re tired, your door won’t budge. Warning: Don’t try to fix springs yourself—they’re under extreme tension and can be dangerous.

3. The Opener Needs a Little TLC

Garage door openers are like cars—they need maintenance. If yours is making weird noises (grinding, screeching, or just sighing dramatically), it might need lubrication, adjustment, or replacement.

4. Something’s Blocking the Sensors

Modern garage doors have safety sensors that prevent them from closing if something’s in the way. If your door refuses to move, check if there’s dirt, cobwebs, or your kid’s bike blocking the path.

5. It’s Just… Being Stubborn

Sometimes, garage doors have bad days too. A quick power cycle (unplugging the opener for 30 seconds) can reset things. If that doesn’t work, it might be time to call in the experts.
