Maybe more appropriate for the OT, but figure I'd get more help here.

Gf's condo garage door is hanging up and will not open. Maybe I could fix it but do not want to find out in the middle of it that I can't. Any recommendations on local places of people/companies you trust or have bad experiences with in this area?

Thx

Check to see if the spring up top is busted.

Im in NWLA but have been very pleased with Overhead Door.

The spring was busted on mine and it was only like $90 parts and labor included.

They also came out and installed a completely new belt drive unit for $300

Post symptoms. It might be something as simple as the lasers got hit and need to be realigned. Does it go up all of the way when you pull the string and unlock it? Does it go up and then go back down?

Not from the area, but had a similar issue. It was all wiring and the spring had popped when I was backing out headed to work. Cost $230 and about 30 min to fix. Good luck.
