My garage door is stuck. The door opens about 4 inches, then stops, doesnt want to go up any further.

Is something activating the child safe laser deally and stopping it? * That is if you have an auto opener.


*Sounds like maybe you do not have an auto opener, in that case possibly swelling due to global warming, or just climate changes.

Sounds like something is obstructing the chain/belt/screw drive lifting mechanism. Or, perhaps something tripped one of the automatic stop sensors.

Pull the manual disconnect lever and attempt to open it yourself. If it still gets stuck look in the track for anything that may have slipped up in there like a washer or something.

It is a automatic opener, if I lift on the door really hard it will open all the way, if not it gets stuck after a few inches. Tried the child saftey sensors but they seem ok, nothing blocking the tracks that I can see.
