My door is stuck closed. Can I force it open?
Usually no. If a torsion spring snapped, the door weighs 150 to 400 pounds with no counterbalance, and trying to lift it by hand can hurt you or bend the panels. Pull the red emergency release only if the opener is the problem, not the spring. If you heard a loud bang, leave it alone and call us.
