The wire holding my garage door snapped. I can't get my car out of there...
I am annoyed because I'll miss the ice times I am supposed to be at in 1hr.
On the flip side, I get to hangout with my dog for the evening and work in the garage.

Can't manually move it up ?
I open and close it manually, usually. The problem is one of the two cables holding the door came off. It's too heavy to pull up and to keep it up.
I had a similar problem once. I had to have the wife help lift the broken side to keep it balanced.
Yeah, last time it happened, i had a second set of hands and did the same thing.
I have 3 unsprung doors that I have to manually lift each use because the openers failed and I don't have enough bitcoin. Must be a wide door.
There should be a latch where the door attaches to the track. Disconnect it then deadlift the door.
I have to reconnect the cable to the pulley. I already did disconnect the latch to even out the door on the ground.
I'll have to reconnect the cable to the pulley, then adjust the tension.
Until I do, I won't be able to open up the door manually. It's too heavy to keep it up.
Fun. Between aging cables and set screw issues at the pulleys I've come to hate torsion spring doors.
