A bang from the garage, then the door sits at the floor and will not budge. The spring lifts all that weight, so with it gone, the door has no way to rise.
Our techs weigh the door to determine exact spring size and wire diameter for Hershey’s specific housing styles, perfectly adjusting coil tension.
You press the button and the opener starts, but the door never moves, or it stalls before the cycle ends. Stripped gears, a burnt logic board, or sensors out of line are usually inside.
Never pull the red release cord while the door is open or jammed. Pull it only when the door is fully closed.
Your door is riding at a hard angle, or one side has dropped away from the track. That door is heavy and not stable, so phone us rather than pushing it back.
Keep people and vehicles clear until a technician secures it. Cable realignment isn't something a homeowner can do safely.
A door that will not close is a garage door repair Hershey PA call, not a morning errand. The phone is answered at any hour.

So when one breaks, all work comes to a grinding halt. Most of the garage door repair Hershey PA work calls that start with “I heard a loud bang…” are for either a broken torsion spring or a broken extension spring. Once a spring is broken, do not run the opener. Leave the door where it is and call a technician. On a two-spring door, we recommend replacing both springs at the same time. We also check the cable drums and the anchor brackets for your garage door sections. And if your garage door opener only needs a new drive gear, we’ll tell you that.

A fraying or loose cable shifts the door’s load and makes the opener work against itself, a common garage door repair Hershey PA find.
A bent or pulled track also causes similar problems as it is pulled away from the wall. A door that comes off track can weigh 200 pounds or more, and it can drop without warning. Spring and cable work belongs to a trained technician, never a homeowner. The same goes for the drive gear and wiring inside the opener.

These problems are generally due to the many years of freeze/thaw cycles the door has gone through. A cracked panel does not always mean a garage door replacement Hershey is needed. Our techs will advise you after inspecting the door.
