BROKEN SPRINGS HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOUR GARAGE DOOR SPRING TURNS TO FALL?

An automatic garage door runs on a series of inner systems that each rely on its other components to operate smoothly, efficiently, and safely throughout is cycle life. Starting with the springs, we usually suggest replacing the garage door springs anywhere between 5-9 years, depending on use. If the main entrance to the house is through the garage, the springs will likely wear out within 5 years. Broken springs can be extremely dangerous, can cause the cables to snap, destroy your electronic opener, forcibly make your garage door to stop, grind in place halfway, or worse of all, drop and cause irreparable damage. Garage doors are usually made from wood or metal; they can weigh around 500 pounds. If one of those springs is broken, you will be lifting that weight all on your own and taking a serious gamble that the door won’t crash down.

PUT DOWN THE REMOTE.

Broken spring? do not use the opener to open your garage door. It doesn’t matter if you have the top-of-the-line heavy-duty multi-function capability unit in your hand, phone, WIFI, or wall panel. Don’t use your opener. Using your opener with a broken spring can cause extra expensive problems, such as:

  • Stripping gears in your opener
  • Burning out your opener motor
  • Breaking the rails
  • Parts of the bracket assembly holding it in place breaking off
  • The opener may detach itself from the ceiling


    • THE SOUND OF TROUBLE.

    Like a roller coaster, your garage door gives off sounds that you simply get used to, and at every given alteration, after time, you can tell exactly where your door is simply by the sound. There is, however, one sound that you should never be complacent with if you do hear it. A crackle…. followed by a loud pop.
    The tension coiled in one spring is immense and that sound of metal not only snapping but releasing a whole bunch of energy is not something you want to undertake yourself if you are thinking about repairing this on your own. We cannot emphasize this enough! If you do not know how to replace a garage door spring, you run the risk of injury from snapping springs back at you or the door falling.

    EVEN THE PROFESSIONALS KNOW WHEN TO START A NEW SEASON.
