Uneven operation: If your garage door doesn’t open or close evenly, it may need maintenance.
Slow operation: A slower-than-usual operation could be a sign of issues.
Safety sensor problems: If the safety sensors are not working correctly, the door may not reverse when it encounters an obstacle.
Visible damage: Look for cracks, dents, or other signs of damage on the door, tracks, or hardware.
