Protect the opening
Keep people and pets away from the travel path. If the door is crooked, hanging, or supported unevenly, treat it as unstable.

What To Do If A Garage Door Is Stuck Open
A safe checklist for a door that cannot close.
- Describe the door issue
- Choose a preferred contact method
- Review safety guidance
Avoid the release handle
Pulling the emergency release beneath an unbalanced raised door can remove the restraint that is helping hold its position.
Observe without forcing
Note opener lights, track position, cable appearance, recent impacts, and the point where normal travel stopped.
Describe the security concern
State whether the opening can be monitored and whether the problem prevents normal access, without sharing entry or alarm codes.
