Broken Spring Repair

A broken garage door spring can be a frustrating and potentially dangerous problem for homeowners. It not only renders your garage door inoperable but also poses safety risks to you and your property. In this blog, we will explore the importance of timely repair for broken garage door springs, signs to look out for, and the benefits of professional repair services. 

Garage door springs play a vital role in counterbalancing the weight of the door and supporting its smooth movement. There are two types of springs commonly used in garage doors: torsion springs and extension springs. Over time, these springs can weaken, become worn out, or break due to the continuous stress of lifting and lowering the heavy garage door. When a spring breaks, it can cause the door to become unbalanced, making it difficult to open or close and potentially leading to accidents or property damage.

There are several signs that may indicate a broken garage door spring. These include the door suddenly becoming difficult to lift manually, a noticeable gap or separation in the spring, a loud bang or snapping sound during operation, or the door becoming crooked or unevenly balanced. If you observe any of these signs, it is crucial to refrain from attempting to operate the door and seek professional repair services.
