Signs of a Broken or Worn Spring
- A loud bang from the garage
- The door feels unusually heavy
- The opener runs but the door barely moves
- A visible gap in a torsion spring
- The door rises unevenly
Why Spring Repair Requires Care
Garage door springs store substantial tension. Replacing, winding, or adjusting them can be hazardous without the proper tools and experience.
What Else Should Be Checked
A spring problem can place extra strain on cables, drums, rollers, hinges, tracks, and the opener. A complete inspection can help identify related wear.
