## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
### Why does my garage door only open a few inches?
Often caused by a broken spring, damaged cable, track obstruction, or opener sensor issue. Professional inspection is highly recommended due to high spring tension.
### How can I tell if a spring is broken?
Look for a loud bang from the garage, a door that feels extremely heavy, a visible gap in the coils of the torsion spring above the door, or an opener that struggles and reverses.
### Is it safe to use a garage door with a broken spring?
No. Operating the door with a broken spring strains the opener and other parts, and can cause the door to fall unexpectedly.
### What causes a door to come off track?
Worn rollers, snapped cables, bent tracks, or accidental impact (hitting the door with a car).
### How often is maintenance needed?
Annual maintenance is recommended. This includes hardware inspection, cable checks, track alignment, safety test, and lubrication.
### Should I repair or replace my opener?
If the opener is young, repair is economical. Older units with recurrent faults or lacking smart features (safety eyes, battery backup, MyQ) are better replaced.
