In most cases this is due to a broken spring however the same reasons that a garage door will not close can be the same reasons it will not open.

This is a more common than people think and there are several reasons this could be happening including the direct wall button is locked no power going to the motor the motor is disconnected, the red pull cord is disconnected the remote is faulty or has gone out, battery in the remote is dead, motor needs to be repaired.

This is commonly caused by a striped gear in the motor itself but also could mean that the door has come disengaged from the motor.

Depending on the issue it could be as little as 30 minutes up to 2 hours

This also depends on the door type but in most cases, it usually takes about 3 hours to 4 hours for us to complete the entire process and have your new garage door back in operation.
