Your garage door springs do the heavy lifting every time you open or close your door. When they start to wear out, it can lead to serious safety issues and unexpected breakdowns. We recommend watching for these common warning signs that you may need garage door spring repair.
- The Garage Door Feels Heavy: If your garage door suddenly feels much heavier than usual, it’s often a sign the springs are losing tension. Since springs are responsible for counterbalancing the door’s weight, failing springs make it difficult or impossible to lift the door manually or with an opener.
- The Door Won’t Open: A broken or weakened spring can prevent your garage door from opening fully. You may notice the door struggling to move or stopping halfway, which is a strong indicator that a repair is needed.
- Visible Damage: In many cases, you can visually inspect the springs and notice a gap in the coil or signs of wear. If a spring is broken, it may appear stretched apart or completely separated.
- Loud Noises: If you hear a loud snapping sound coming from your garage, it could be a broken spring. This is one of the most common signs of failure and usually means the door will no longer function properly.
