A storm that brings down powerlines at night, as the January 2025 supercell did, can leave an opener without power until morning or longer. If the door is shut with the car inside, mention that first when you call. If yours is one of Thornton’s newer homes, look at the warranty for your door and opener too. Some makers attach servicing conditions to their warranties, so check yours before booking.

Nearly half of Thornton homes (46.7%) had two vehicles in 2021, so a jammed door can leave one car stuck while the other is out. Is it a tilt, roller or sectional door, and is it stuck at the top, at the bottom or halfway? Our motor repairs page covers openers, remotes and safety beams. With your consent, a local garage door business will receive your details.
