If your garage door is stuck halfway or won’t move at all, stop trying to force it. Garage door springs and cables are under an extreme amount of tension and can cause serious injury if they snap or come loose. Forcing a stuck door can also damage the opener or cause the door to come off its tracks. First, check to make sure nothing is physically blocking the door or the photo-eye sensors near the bottom of the tracks. If there’s no visible obstruction, call a professional Boulder garage door repair technician right away. Our trained technicians have the proper tools and expertise to safely identify whether the issue is caused by a broken spring, frayed cable, or malfunctioning opener.

Whether you need a repair or a full replacement depends on the age, condition, and safety of your system. If your door is relatively new and the issue is limited to a broken spring, damaged cable, or faulty sensor, a repair will usually solve the problem.

However, if your garage door is more than 10–15 years old, frequently breaks down, has visible structural damage (such as cracks, warping, or rust), or lacks modern safety features, a replacement is often the smarter long-term investment. Our Boulder team can inspect your door and provide an honest recommendation.

Choosing a new garage door is easier with professional guidance. We’ll consider your home’s style, desired insulation level, security needs, material preferences (steel, wood, composite, etc.), and budget. Our technicians walk you through top brands, color and finish options, and features like smart-enabled openers or energy-efficient designs. We’ll help you select a door that looks great and performs reliably for years to come.

A broken spring is one of the most common reasons a garage door won’t open. Signs include:

• A loud bang or snap from the garage
• The door only lifts a few inches before stopping
• The door feels unusually heavy when trying to lift manually
• A visible gap in the spring’s coil

If you notice any of these, do not try to lift or fix it yourself – springs are under high tension and can be dangerous. Call a trained garage door repair technician in Boulder immediately.
