Why does my garage door open slowly or stop halfway?

Likely causes are worn springs or rollers, a weak remote battery, a low limit setting or a failing motor capacitor. Dust and dry hinges add drag. If the door stops halfway and reverses, check the photocells too. Slow movement is a warning, so stop using the door if you hear grinding or see it tilt.

Look for a bent track, a frayed cable or a loose spring. Do not touch the springs or cables, as they hold a lot of tension.

Stop using it if you hear a bang or the door tilts. Book a garage door repair in Dubai.
