A garage door spring typically fails suddenly—you'll hear a loud snap, and the door either won't open or drops hard. Springs are under constant tension and wear out over time; replacing one means the door needs to come off its tracks temporarily, and both springs usually get done at once since the second one is likely close behind. Cable issues follow similar patterns: fraying, snapping, or slipping off the drum. Both jobs require the door secured safely before work starts.
The second major category is the opener motor itself stopping or struggling. Sometimes it's a worn-out unit that won't lift anymore; sometimes the gears inside have stripped. A local pro will test whether it's the motor, the limit switch, or a transmission issue before quoting a replacement. Tracks and rollers round out common calls—bent tracks or seized rollers make the door bind or derail, and straightening tracks or swapping out rollers is straightforward once you get the door stable.
