What 'Stuck Open' Usually Looks Like
Common Causes of a Door Stuck in the Open Position
Broken torsion spring — the door has no counterweight and the opener refuses to lower it
Snapped lift cable — the door is off-balance and unsafe to force down
Off-track door — rollers left the vertical track after impact or a worn hinge
Opener drive gear or trolley failure — motor spins but nothing engages
Dead opener logic board after a Montreal power surge or lightning
Manual lock left engaged from the inside handle
What You Should Do Right Now (and What to Avoid)
Do not try to force the door down by pulling the emergency release rope while the door is fully open. If a spring or cable is broken, the door can slam down uncontrolled and cause serious injury or crush anything underneath. Instead: 1. Keep people, pets, and vehicles out from under the door 2. Unplug the opener so no one can trigger a movement with a remote 3. Take a quick photo of the springs above the door and any loose cables — this helps our technician confirm parts before arriving 4. Call us — we handle secure lowering with a controlled counterweight technique so the door is closed safely without further damage If you have an urgent security concern, ask about our priority dispatch — we can often reach Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, or the West Island in under 90 minutes during business hours.
