Broken Garage Door Spring Repair
Professional help for suspected spring problems.
A spring problem needs professional attention
A loud bang, a visible gap in a spring, or a door that suddenly will not lift can be signs of a spring problem. Other faults can produce similar symptoms. Keep people and pets clear and avoid using the opener until the system has been assessed.
Leave the tensioned parts alone
Do not loosen brackets, adjust springs, cut cables or try to lift a damaged door. Do not pull the emergency release on an open or visibly damaged door. A technician needs to evaluate the door and its counterbalance system before deciding on a repair.
Information that helps
Describe what happened immediately before the problem, whether the door is currently open or closed, and whether access is blocked. Measurements, spring selection and repair work should be handled during a professional assessment.
