A specialized technical intervention designed to safely restore the lifting power and balance of a garage door. Because these springs operate under high tension—often supporting doors weighing between 200 and 500 pounds—professional replacement is critical to prevent severe injury or property damage.
When to Seek Professional Repair
The "Gunshot" Sound: A loud bang from the garage is a classic sign of a spring snapping
Heavy Door: If the door feels unusually heavy or the opener struggles to lift it
Visible Gaps: A 1–2 inch gap in the coils of a torsion spring indicates it has broken.
Crooked Opening: The door may appear lopsided if one of two springs has failed.
