Broken springs are the most common repair on a garage door. If your door won’t budge, even if you pull the release and try to lift the door manually, odds are you have a broken spring. Do not try to open or close the door, as you will only cause further damage. You never want to attempt to work on springs yourself, always call a professional. The extreme tension on the spring is what makes your door feel light when the door is properly balanced and the springs are doing their jobs. Most people don’t realize just how heavy the door is until a spring breaks. Over time, due to constant use, springs get brittle and eventually wear out. You should always replace both springs being that they wear out at the same rate, so if one breaks, chances are the other is not too far behind. By only replacing one spring, you are putting more tension on the new spring causing it to wear faster than normal. Quality Garage Doors arrives with every size of springs needed for any type of door.
