Since
there are a lot of parts involved in a garage door functionality, you can't
rule out the problem they may cause it due to wear and tear. So, let's talk
about different garage door parts and what could be go wrong with each of them.
Doors & Sections:
The
sections of your garage door can develop a "sag" due to wear and tear
get damaged or dented, especially if a car accidentally runs in a closed door.
Sensors:
Your
garage door opener has safety sensors placed on either side of the garage door
tracks 6 inches of the floor. They communicate with the opener. One safety
sensor releases a laser whereas the other receives it. If anything obstructs
that line resulting in no connection with the receiving sensor, the garage door
will not go down. If your garage door only moves down a few inches before
rising back up, then the safety sensors may be obstructed or misaligned.
Hinges:
The
hinges connect the sections of the garage door & let the door to twist as
it operates. These need proper lubrication & can prompt issues if cracked
or broken.
Tracks:
there
is a set of tracks both horizontal and vertical mounted to the wall and ceiling
for a smooth operation they required to be cleaned from dirt and debris
Torsion Spring:
The
spring above your garage door is under a significant amount of tension and
provides the power needed to raise your heavy door. If torsion spring breaks
down or starts making a strange noise, don't try to fix or tune it on your own.

door openers have come a long way since their introduction. Openers now come
with added safety features and can be monitored and controlled from your
computer or Smartphone.
The
parts in an opener that can break are the main gear, sensors, and motherboard.
