I heard a crack from the garage, and the door is sitting right at the bottom. The spring does the lifting, and without it the door will not rise.
Our techs weigh the door to determine exact spring size and wire diameter for Livingston’s specific housing styles, perfectly adjusting coil tension.
The button does nothing, or the motor runs and the door sits still. Stripped gears, a burnt logic board, or sensors nudged out of line are usually why.
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 tilting at an angle or has jumped its track entirely. This is not a repair to attempt yourself, so call us and step back.
