DANGER: Broken Spring? Do NOT Use Your Door.
WARNING: It's the Most Critical (and Dangerous) Part of Your Door
Garage door springs are the powerhouse of your system, engineered to bear the full weight of the door. They operate under extreme tension, storing immense mechanical energy. A failing or broken spring is not a simple inconvenience—it is a serious safety hazard. Attempting to adjust, remove, or replace a spring without the proper tools, training, and experience can result in severe injury or catastrophic property damage. For your safety, all spring-related issues must be handled by a certified professional.
Signs of a Broken or Failing Spring
- A Loud “Bang”: Often described as sounding like a firecracker or gunshot from the garage. This is the sound of a spring breaking under tension.
- Garage Door Won’t Open: The opener motor may run, but it cannot lift the immense weight of the door without the spring’s assistance.
- Door Opens Crookedly: If one spring in a two-spring system fails, the door will lift unevenly and may become jammed.
- Visible Gap in the Spring: The most obvious sign. You will see a clear separation in the spring’s coils.
- Loose or Fallen Cables: The lifting cables at the side of the door may become slack or fall off the drums when a spring breaks.
Torsion vs. Extension Springs
Most modern homes use a torsion spring system, but many still utilize extension springs. Our technicians are masters of both. We have the specialized tools and deep knowledge required to service and replace either system safely and correctly, ensuring your door operates as it was designed to.
Why You MUST Call a Professional for Spring Repair
This is not a DIY project. The immense tension in garage door springs can be lethal. Our technicians are rigorously trained in specific safety protocols, use professional-grade winding bars (never screwdrivers), and know how to calculate and install the exact right spring for your door’s specific weight, height, and track radius. Choosing a professional isn’t just for convenience—it’s essential for the safety of you and your family.
