A garage door opener allows you to open and close the garage door from inside your home. The opener is connected to a remote control that you can use to open and close the door from outside.

There may be a simple solution. First, check to see if the button is stuck. If it isn’t, try using one of the other methods below. If the button is stuck, try using one of these methods to close the door without holding the button:
– Push down on the spring bar with a rubber mallet. Be careful not to hit any wires or springs.
– Pry up on the lip of the track near one end with a flat tool and pull until it pops off. Then gently push down on both ends of the track until it clicks into place and hold in place whileyou wiggle the door handle.
