Your garage door springs are like the heart of your garage door system. When functioning optimally, these springs may go unnoticed. But when they break? It's a whole different story.The most obvious sign that you need broken spring repair is if your garage door isn't opening or closing properly. If it feels heavy, gets stuck halfway up or down, or won't move at all - these could be signs that something's wrong with the springs.
A broken spring can manifest in various ways beyond just an uncooperative door. You may hear loud noises as the tension releases from the broken spring—kind of like a firecracker going off in your garage. Additionally, if you see gaps in what should be tightly wound coils—that’s another telltale sign.If left untreated, a broken spring can cause more damage to other parts of your garage doors such as cables and tracks – which we certainly don’t want.
Fixing broken springs yourself might seem tempting; after all, there are plenty of online tutorials promising quick fixes. However, this task comes with risks due to high tension involved in winding and unwinding these powerful little coils.In fact, each year there are reports across America about homeowners who’ve injured themselves attempting this dangerous fix on their own—a clear reason why professional help is necessary for safe repairs.
