If the door is off track, crooked, unusually heavy, or has a visibly broken spring or cable, avoid operating it.

Safe checks before calling

Move objects away from the doorway and sensor path.
Check whether the sensor lenses are dirty or obviously misaligned.
Try the wall control and note whether the opener reverses or stops.
Look for track, roller, cable, or door-panel damage that may be binding the door.

Do not repeatedly force a door closed with the opener if the door is crooked, binding, or mechanically damaged.

If the simple checks above do not identify a safe, obvious fix, call for garage door service rather than continuing to operate a door that may be mechanically damaged.
