Signs You May Have a Broken Garage Door Spring
There are several common signs that may indicate your garage door spring is broken or worn out. Your garage door may feel unusually heavy, open only a few inches, close too quickly, or move unevenly. You may also notice a visible gap in the spring or hear a loud snapping sound when the spring breaks.
Another common sign is when the garage door opener runs, but the door does not move properly. This can happen because the opener is trying to lift the full weight of the door without the support of the spring. If you notice any of these issues, it is best to avoid forcing the door open and schedule a professional inspection.
Torsion and Extension Spring Repair
Garage doors may use different types of spring systems, including torsion springs and extension springs. Torsion springs are usually located above the garage door opening, while extension springs are commonly found along the sides of the door tracks.
Each spring system works differently, but both are designed to help balance the weight of the garage door. When a spring becomes worn, loose, or broken, the door may stop opening smoothly or become unsafe to use.
SMB Pro Garage Door can inspect your existing spring system and replace worn or broken springs with the correct spring type and size. Our goal is to help your garage door open and close safely, smoothly, and reliably.
Why You Should Not Use a Garage Door with a Broken Spring
Using a garage door with a broken spring can cause more damage to the system. Without a working spring, the opener may struggle to lift the door, which can put pressure on the motor, cables, rollers, tracks, and other hardware.
A broken spring can also make the door unstable or difficult to control. For safety, it is best not to force the garage door open or continue using the opener until the system has been inspected by a garage door professional.
If your garage door spring is broken, disconnecting or lifting the door without proper knowledge can be risky. A professional technician can check the full system and complete the repair safely.
