Your garage door spring does most of the heavy lifting. When it starts to fail, your door becomes unsafe and unreliable.
1. The Door Is Unusually Heavy to Lift
A properly functioning spring counterbalances the door weight. If it feels extremely heavy when lifting by hand, the spring is losing tension.
2. You Hear a Loud Bang From the Garage
A sudden loud bang is the spring releasing all its stored tension at once. Do not operate the door after a spring break.
3. The Door Opens Crooked or Jerks
If one of two springs breaks, the door rises higher on one side. This strains the cables and opener.
4. Visible Gaps in the Spring
A gap in the coils above the door means the spring has snapped. Springs last 7-10 years in Florida climate.
5. The Opener Strains or Reverses
If your opener hums loudly or reverses immediately, a failing spring is creating resistance the opener safety detects.
