Garage doors are automated machines that run off sensors and electricity. This sounds 
 very technical, but really it means that anything and everything can affect the function 
of  your doors, from dust and dirt to insects and even the cold weather.

Here are some of the most common 
reason  for garage door 
Photo Eyej aSmenmsoresd Are Obstructed
In the past 20 years, garage doors have been manufactured with a photo-eye 
 sensor that controls the entire function of the door.
The Garage Door Is Locked
The garage door being locked could be what is causing the issue for the door
jam.
Disruption To Power Source
A power surge can cause a disruption to the power source that opens and 
 closes your garage doors.
Broken Springs
Garage doors operate with spring systems, and when the horizontal torsion 
 springs break you’ll know right away.

Issues With Garage Door Sensitivity
Older garage doors commonly have an issue of the sensitivity being set too low or 
 too high, which then leads to the door to jam.
Remote Control Is Broken
It’s one of the most overlooked problems with a garage door. The remote control  
may need a battery change, could be broken or even out of range of the door itself.
Off The Rails
Garage doors work on tracks, and if the garage door that you have has moved off the 
 rails, there’s no way it will work.
Objects In The Way
There is an automatic reverse feature on your garage, and if there is an object in the 
 way, the garage door will jam.
