Your garage door spring plays an essential role in your garage door system functioning normally. However, the spring system is also one of the easiest parts to damage with regular wear and tear. Whether you open your garage door manually or with an automatic garage door opener, the spring is responsible for counteracting the force of gravity, which makes the door lighter and requires less force to lift upwards.
To catch the signs of a broken spring before it gives out, you need to know the two types of springs: torsion springs and extension springs.
Garage door torsion springs are commonly used in older homes. A garage door torsion spring is normally mounted on a metal bar above the door, but more compact garages place the torsion shaft at the rear. When the torsion tube is installed correctly, your garage door should feel balanced when opening or closing. Some of the signs to look out for a broken spring include:
Extension springs are suspended overhead above the tracks on a cable pulley system, though they can also be mounted on the sides vertically. They work by pulling the garage door upwards against the force of gravity. Early signs of wear include:
If your garage door breaks, we don’t recommend using your automatic operator or performing DIY repairs. Always have a professional garage door repair service to handle broken garage doors.
Regardless of the type of springs you have, repairing garage doors have some amount of hazardous risk. Garage doors can weigh up to 400 pounds, and your door’s mechanism can produce strong pressure to lift your door. If handled by an inexperienced user, there’s a risk of cuts from sharp metal parts, the garage door falling on you, activating the opener during replacements, and other dangerous accidents that can hurt you or your property. In this case, it’s best to leave your garage doors to professionals.
If your springs fail, don’t attempt trying to open your door with your automatic operator or by manually opening it. Your springs are responsible for lifting and keeping the door open, so there’s a huge risk at trying to open your door to let vehicles, objects, or even other people pass underneath it. There’s no telling how damaged your door’s mechanism is until your technician arrives, so it’s best to leave it as is until our technicians can handle it.
