Is the problem is really the garage door opener?

Before we determine if the problem is really with the garage opener, we need to examine the door itself first.  As we explained earlier, in the previous paragraph about garage door coil spring repair in White Plains, a garage door should work smoothly and should be opened and closed easily without the opener (Being used manually). If there is a problem when you use the door manually, the door should not be used with the opener. It doesn’t matter if it is a garage door in White Plains 10605 New York, or garage door in Eastchester, the opener is not what really lifting the door but it is the springs system.
In case there is a problem with the garage door itself, such as snapped cable or a broken roller, (As we often find when coming to inspect a garage door in White Plains) the opener may not be able to open the door since it needs the force from the tension springs. In order for the garage operator to operate the door, the mechanism of the door should be in good condition.  The motor’s part in lifting and lowering the door is a small part, when the biggest part is being done by the spring system. When the spring’s system work fine, and there is no problem with the door, then we can move forward to inspect the opener itself.
