Signs Your Garage Door Spring Is Broken

Your garage door springs do the heavy lifting every time you open or close the door. When one fails, you’ll notice the difference right away. Common signs include:

–  The door won’t open or only opens a few inches
–  You heard a loud “bang” in the garage
–  The door feels unusually heavy or uneven
–  Gaps are visible between coils in the spring
–  The opener strains, jerks, or stops mid-cycle

If you notice any of these symptoms, stop using your door immediately — forcing it to move can cause further damage or even injury.

Why You Shouldn’t Try DIY Spring Repair

Attempting to fix a broken spring yourself can cause serious injury — always call a professional. Garage door spring systems are tightly wound under extreme tension. Attempting to replace or adjust them without the right tools or training can be dangerous. Every year, thousands of homeowners suffer serious injuries from DIY garage door repairs.

Why Fix It Now — Safety and Savings Go Hand in Hand

A broken spring might seem like a small issue, but delaying the repair can cause much bigger problems. When a spring fails, the full weight of your garage door shifts to the opener, cables, and tracks — parts never designed to handle that load. This added strain can burn out the opener or snap cables, leading to costly repairs. More importantly, a broken or unbalanced door is a serious safety hazard. It can slam shut without warning, damage vehicles, or injure anyone nearby — especially children or pets.

Repairing the spring promptly restores safe operation and helps extend the life of your entire system, keeping every part balanced, reliable, and running smoothly.

Benefits of Professional Spring Replacement

Extended spring lifespan thanks to high-quality, corrosion-resistant materials
Improved performance with balanced lift and smooth operation
Reduced strain on your opener, helping prevent costly future repairs
