Understanding Garage Door Spring Issues
Your garage door springs are under immense tension and are one of the hardest-working components of your garage door system. Over time, they wear out and can become dangerous if not replaced promptly.
1. Visible Gaps in the Spring
If you notice a gap in your torsion spring, it has already broken. This is the most obvious sign and requires immediate professional attention.
2. The Door Opens Unevenly
When one spring is weaker than the other, your door may rise crookedly or appear lopsided. This puts extra strain on your opener and other components.
3. Loud Bang from the Garage
If you heard a loud bang from your garage, similar to a firecracker, your spring likely just broke. The sound comes from the spring unwinding rapidly.
4. Door Falls Quickly When Closing
A properly functioning spring counterbalances the weight of the door. If your door slams shut, the springs may be worn out.
5. Door Won't Stay Open
If your door won't stay in place when you manually lift it halfway, the springs need attention.
