The Most Critical Component: Safety and Expertise You Can Trust The springs on your garage door are under immense tension—they do the heavy lifting, not your garage door opener. When a spring breaks, your door becomes too heavy to operate and poses a serious safety risk.
Never attempt to fix or replace a garage door spring yourself. This is the most dangerous repair on a garage door system and requires specialized training and tools.
If your spring is broken, call us immediately for urgent, safe replacement.
Recognizing a Broken Garage Door Spring How do you know if your garage door spring has snapped?
Loud Noise: You hear a sharp, metallic "BANG!" that sounds like a gunshot coming from your garage. This is the sound of the coiled metal releasing tension.
Door Won’t Lift: Your garage door opener may run, but the door only moves a few inches or won't move at all.
Heavy Door: If you attempt to lift the door manually, it feels incredibly heavy (it should feel light when balanced).
>Visible Gap: On a torsion spring system (a long tube over the door), you will see a visible gap of an inch or two in the coiled metal.
