Springs play a crucial role when raising or lowering a garage door. A broken spring can prevent the door from functioning correctly and pose a potential safety risk due to the sudden and violent release of stored tension.

Signs of a Broken Garage Door Spring

You can often tell if a garage door spring is broken if you notice any of these issues:

• The automatic opener won’t completely raise the door.
• You hear a loud snapping noise coming from the top of the door opening.
• The door closes too quickly.
• You’re unable to open or close the door.
• You observe gaps in the coils or the presence of rust.
• The door hangs crookedly.

Types of Garage Door Springs and How to Tell Which One You Have

Garage door springs are available in two versions:

• Torsion: A torsion spring operates by releasing stored mechanical energy. This spring is mounted on a horizontal bar above the door’s opening. The tool unwinds when you open the door and tightens upon closing. You can recognize a torsion spring by its thick, heavy-duty design and construction. Only one torsion model is required to operate a garage door efficiently.
• Extension: Extension springs work as a pair, with one on either side of the opening. They’re suspended between brackets and rely on cables and pulleys that stretch them when operating the door. This spring type is often the preferred choice for smaller garage doors.

Why Choose a Professional Like The Doorman to Replace Your Springs?

You could attempt to repair or replace a broken garage door spring yourself. However, unless you have extensive knowledge and experience working with garage doors, you face a significant injury risk. The process consists of multiple steps that require precise execution. There’s also a chance that the spring could snap, transforming the components into missile-like projectiles due to the sudden tension release.
