What's a temporary fix for a broken garage door?
Depending on what needs to be fixed, the door type, and its features, you can visually assess what needs to be done to maintain security or gain entry.

  • If the garage door should have a lock that you can manually lock and unlock for entry and safety purposes.
  • If the garage door is not opening, check the sensor to make sure there is nothing blocking the signal. You may need to wipe debris off and try again.

You should not force your garage door to open as it will cause further damage.

In most cases, you will need additional assistance if the locking mechanism or your garage door opener is not functioning properly. However, if you have damage to your rollers, springs, cables, or track, it is better to have a trained technician determine the cause and provide a solution that keeps you safe and within budget.
