Why Garage Doors Get Stuck Halfway
A garage door stuck halfway almost always indicates a mechanical issue, safety lockout, or obstruction. Common causes include:
Broken Torsion Spring
Door becomes too heavy for the opener to lift.
Snapped or Loose Cable
Door becomes crooked and jams instantly.
Track Damage
Bent, misaligned, or obstructed tracks block movement.
Sensor Issues
Dirty or misaligned sensors cause the door to stop midway.
Opener Motor Failure
The opener lacks the power to lift the door fully.
Roller Wear
Damaged or seized rollers bind the door on the track.
What To Do If Your Garage Door Is Stuck Halfway
- Stop using the opener immediately.
