Garage Door Stuck Halfway? Here’s What Sydney North Shore Locals Can Do
It’s early morning, and your garage door won’t budge — stuck halfway and making strange noises. Sound familiar? You’re not alone. We assist homeowners in St Ives, Mosman, and Dee Why with this issue every week.
Why Garage Doors Get Stuck Halfway
Most halfway jams happen because of:
- Broken torsion or extension springs
- Faulty garage door opener logic board
- Misaligned or dirty safety sensors
- Debris blocking the tracks
- Worn gears or drive belt
These can happen without warning, especially during wet weather or after power outages.
Quick Things to Check Before You Call
- Make sure nothing’s in the track (sticks, tools, pebbles)
- Check the sensor lights — are they flashing?
- Try manually releasing the door using the red emergency cord
- Is the opener beeping or blinking? Check the manual for codes.
