Your garage door can break for a wide range of reasons, leaving you puzzled as to why it won't open or close correctly. A snapped tension spring is an obvious problem that requires garage door repair, while a slowly moving door might not indicate what is wrong. You can check to make sure your opener is plugged in and the circuit hasn't tripped when your opener won't engage, and you can check to see if there is anything in the tracks that prevents the wheels from moving forward.

Accidents happen, and sooner or later, you're bound to accidentally back into your garage door. Whether it's just a light smack or a sickening crunch, any type of run-in you have with your garage door is bound to give you that sinking feeling of dread and panic. Knowing how to handle the aftermath of an accidental brush with your garage door can help you worry less and enjoy greater peace of mind.
