Emergency Garage Door Service FAQs
Can I close a stuck garage door manually?
If the door is on track and the springs are intact, the red emergency release cord disconnects the opener so the door can be moved by hand. If a spring is broken or the door is off track, do not try. Call for help.
What counts as a garage door emergency?
A door stuck open, a trapped vehicle, a door off track or hanging, or a door hit by a car. If anyone is injured, call 911 first.
