Warning Signs You Need Garage Door Spring Repair

As high-tension steel ages, it loses its resiliency, causing the garage door to feel significantly heavier. When your springs are brand new, it takes only about 10 pounds of force to lift the door. As they approach the end of their lifespan, you will notice these common warning signs:

• The Opener is Straining: If you hear your automatic garage door opener grinding, humming, or struggling to lift the door, the springs are likely failing to assist it.
• A Loud Gunshot-Like Sound: When a garage door torsion spring snaps, it releases all its tension violently, creating a massive bang that often echoes through the whole house.
• The Door Won’t Open: If the spring is completely broken, your automatic opener will fail to lift the door entirely, and attempting to open it manually will feel like lifting pure dead weight.

In the home improvement industry, the golden rule is simple: always leave garage door spring replacement to the professionals.
