Doors off track or stuck in Boulder
A door that has come off its tracks, sits crooked or jams part-way is unsafe to keep using. It can fall or damage panels, so it's best left closed until it's fixed.

Boulder sees strong chinook winds, spring hail and quick swings between warm days and freezing nights.
Chinook winds put real strain on garage doors, and cold snaps are when worn springs tend to snap. If you heard a loud bang and the door won't lift, it's almost always a spring.
Don't try to replace torsion springs yourself. They hold a lot of tension and cause serious injuries every year.
Common questions
Can I push it back on track?
It isn't recommended. The door is heavy and may be under spring tension.
What causes this?
Usually a hit from a car, a broken cable or worn rollers.
Can I open the door with a broken spring?
It's not safe to force it. The door can be very heavy without the spring. Leave it closed until it's fixed if you can.
