Q: Can you manually open a garage door?

• <div><p>It is possible to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-open-garage-door-manually.htm">manually open a garage door</a>. However, whether you should manually open a garage door depends on the source of the problem. If the door doesn't open because of a broken spring or cable, for safety's sake, you'll want to leave the door closed until you can have a professional inspect it and repair it. If the problem lies with the opener itself, you should usually have no problem opening the door manually.</p></div>

Q: What is the most cost-effective way to insulate a garage?

• <div><p>It may seem that doing an insulating project completely as a DIY task would be the most cost-effective way to accomplish it. However, professionally trained installers are experts at determining precisely what each garage needs in terms of effective insulation. Hiring an insulation pro and using batt insulation for the bulk of the materials will provide the best results for the least amount of money.</p></div>

Q: How do I prevent my garage door from freezing?

• <div><p>The best way to prevent your garage door from freezing is to install a permanent source of heat in the garage. You can have a professional tie in your main heating system or install a ductless mini split as a standalone heating solution. You can also <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-insulate-a-garage.htm">insulate the garage</a> to prevent temperatures from dropping to the point that the door freezes shut. </p></div>

Q: Why do my garage door cables keep coming off?

• <div><p>There are several reasons garage door cables can come off multiple times. The most common reason is that the springs have too much or too little tension and require adjusting. Other causes include track alignment issues that keep the door from operating correctly or smoothly. A damaged winding drum or obstructions in the cable's way can also cause it to come loose. </p></div>
