Broken Garage Door Springs

Broken Garage Door Spring? Act Fast!

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 suggest replacing the garage door springs anywhere between 5-9 years, depending on use. Broken springs can be hazardous, cause the cables to snap, destroy your electronic opener, forcibly make your garage door stop, grind in place halfway, or worse, drop and cause irreparable damage. Commercial garage doors are made from sturdier, weightier materials, weighing around 1,000 pounds or more when finished. Don't wait until your garage door spring break. Call for maintenance twice a year.

PUT DOWN THE REMOTE.

Broken spring? Stop! Do not continue to use the opener in an attempt to operate 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. As tempting as it may be, continuing to try to override this for a DIY quick fix for a broken spring, it can cause unforeseen, more expensive problems and safety issues 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.

    The tension coiled in one spring is immense, and that sound of grinding metal, followed by snapping, is the recoil releasing a factory-manufactured psi wound within a tight spiral. In essence, 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!
