Garage door springs provide the support for your garage door opener. It is the garage door spring or springs that enables you to open and close your garage door with ease. They are strong and potentially dangerous to work on if you don’t know what to do.

A broken spring can be very loud when it snaps. Sometimes you may not even be using your garage door when it happens. We have had customers tell us they were inside making dinner or doing something around the home when they heard a loud noise in the garage. If you have a broken torsion spring you will likely be able to see it in 2 and sometimes even 3 piece. If it is a broken tension spring it may be hanging. You may notice that the cables are loose or they may appear broken. The tension of the springs keep the cables tight so when they break the cables will become loose. Another thing you may notice is if you try to open the door it may only open about 6 inches or so. You may also realize your door is extremely heavy and you most likely will be unable to lift it that’s because torsion springs support the weight of the door. If you have extension springs then the door may go up crooked or look crooked.

It’s important that if you have a broken spring not to open of close the door on your own. If were able to get it open then you would be risking damage to yourself and your door if it comes crashing down. We recommend calling a pro immediately!
