You heard something split above the garage with a bang, and the door is frozen at the floor. The spring was doing the lifting, so it will not rise now.
Our techs weigh the door to determine exact spring size and wire diameter for Shoreline’s specific housing styles, perfectly adjusting coil tension.
The motor runs but the door never moves, or the remote stops responding entirely. Worn drive gears, a dead logic board, or a photo eye out of position 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.
