Your Garage Door is Stuck or Off Track

TNT Garage Doors Helps You Take Control

When your garage door is stuck or off track, it can grind your day to a halt—whether you’re heading to work, managing a delivery, or trying to lock up at night. At TNT Garage Doors in Winfield, WV, we help you understand what causes these issues and what to do next. Knowing the right steps can prevent damage, reduce downtime, and keep your door operating safely.

Don’t Force the Door Open or Closed

If your garage door is stuck, resist the urge to force it. This can damage the rollers, tracks, or opener. Forcing it may also lead to injury or make the problem worse.

Check for Visible Obstructions or Damage

Look for anything blocking the door’s movement—like debris, bent tracks, or loose rollers. If the door looks crooked or hangs unevenly, it may have come off track.

Inspect the Springs and Cables

Broken springs or snapped cables are common reasons for stuck doors. If you see a gap in the torsion spring or a loose cable, don’t try to fix it yourself—these components are under high tension.

Need to Reset the Opener? TNT Garage Doors Has You Covered

Try resetting your opener or pulling the emergency release cord to switch the door to manual mode. If the door moves freely by hand, the issue may be with the opener rather than the door itself.

Garage doors are heavy and complex. TNT Garage Doors can safely diagnose and fix off-track doors, spring issues, or opener malfunctions. We’ll get your door working again quickly and correctly.
