The unassuming garage door spring plays a crucial role in your home’s functionality. It counterbalances the weight of your door, ensuring smooth and effortless operation. But like any mechanical component, springs can wear out or break, leaving you with a frustrating situation – a door stuck halfway open or refusing to budge at all. Here at Advanced Door, we understand the urgency of a broken garage door spring. Here’s what you should know and how we can help.
Signs of a Spring on the Fritz:
- Uneven Movement: A door that opens or closes unevenly, tilting to one side, could indicate a broken or failing spring.
- Unusual Noises: Loud grinding, screeching, or clanging noises during operation can be a sign of a stressed or broken spring.
- Difficulty Lifting: If the door suddenly feels heavy or requires excessive force to lift manually, it could be due to a broken spring.
- Incomplete Movement: As mentioned earlier, the most obvious sign is a door that gets stuck halfway open or closed.
