Why Garage Door Spring Replacement Is Critical — And How to Know When It’s Time
When your garage door suddenly stops working, there’s a high chance the problem lies with the springs. These small but powerful components are essential to lifting and lowering your garage door safely. If one breaks, your entire system can come to a halt — or worse, become dangerous to use.
What Do Garage Door Springs Do?
Garage door springs are tightly wound coils of metal that support the weight of your garage door. They provide the tension needed to lift the door smoothly and lower it gently. Most systems use either torsion springs (mounted above the door) or extension springs (located on the sides). Over time, daily use, temperature changes, and natural wear cause these springs to weaken and eventually snap.
Signs Your Garage Door Springs Need Replacement
-
The door won’t open (or only opens a few inches)
-
Loud bang from the garage — usually a spring snapping
-
Loose or hanging cables
-
Crooked or jerky door movement
-
The door feels extra heavy when lifted manually
If you notice any of these signs, stop using the door and call a professional immediately. Trying to force the door open or attempting a DIY repair can be dangerous.
