Assess the Problem for Garage Door Opener
To diagnose whether the issue lies with the garage door opener, ensure the door is in the fully closed position. Disengage the opener trolley from the door by pulling the emergency cord. Try to lift the door by hand. If it opens smoothly, the problem is with the opener. If the garage
door still stays halfway closed, the problem is with the door.
