The Most Common Garage Door Problems—and How We Fix Them Fast

April 13, 20252 min read

Garage doors are used multiple times a day, every day—but we rarely think about them until something goes wrong. When your door suddenly won’t open or starts making strange noises, it can bring your whole day to a stop.

At A&N Garage Door Services, we’ve seen it all—and we fix it fast. Here are the most common garage door problems in Indiana and what our technicians do to solve them.

 

🚪 1. Garage Door Won’t Open or Close

Possible causes:

  • Broken spring

  • Disconnected or damaged opener

  • Off-track rollers

  • Sensor misalignment

How we fix it:
We inspect the entire system, replace broken parts (like springs or cables), and recalibrate the opener and sensors so your door opens and closes smoothly.

 

🔊 2. Loud, Grinding, or Squeaky Noises

Possible causes:

  • Lack of lubrication

  • Worn-out rollers

  • Loose hardware

Our fix:
A
lube and tune-up! We lubricate all moving parts, tighten loose bolts, and replace any worn components. This is one of our most affordable and effective services—and we offer it for FREE with any repair.

 

🌀 3. Broken Springs

Symptoms:

  • Garage door feels heavy

  • Won’t open manually or with opener

  • Loud “snap” sound when it broke

Our fix:
We safely replace
torsion or extension springs using the right size and tension for your door. NEVER try this yourself—spring repair is dangerous without proper tools and training.

 

🕹️ 4. Opener Not Responding

Possible causes:

  • Electrical issue

  • Disconnected sensors

  • Dead remote batteries

  • Faulty opener motor

How we fix it:
We test your opener system, replace remotes or batteries if needed, and if the motor is burnt out, we can install a
new, quiet, energy-efficient garage door opener on the same day.

 

📏 5. Uneven or Off-Track Garage Doors

Symptoms:

  • One side of the door sags

  • Door doesn’t sit flush on the ground

  • Loud rubbing or scraping noises

Our fix:
We realign the tracks, tighten hardware, and if needed, replace damaged rollers or track sections so the door glides smoothly again.
