The door came down hard overnight and never came back up. That torsion coil snapped, and with nothing left to carry the weight, the door simply cannot rise.
Our techs weigh the door to determine exact spring size and wire diameter for Tonawanda’s specific housing styles, perfectly adjusting coil tension.
Your wall button works and the light comes on, but the door never finishes. Worn drive gears, a failed logic board, or a photo eye nudged sideways 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.
One corner of the door has fallen fast, or the whole panel sits crooked in the opening. Step back and phone us, because that door is heavy and not stable.
Keep people and vehicles clear until a technician secures it. Cable realignment isn't something a homeowner can do safely.
