BROKEN GARAGE DOOR SPRING REPAIR

A broken garage door spring can leave your door heavy, uneven, or unable to open. A loud bang or a visible gap in a torsion spring may indicate a break. Stop using the door and contact ACTSYS for an inspection.

Garage door springs act as a counterbalance to the weight of all garage doors, making them easier to open and close. Garage springs are under an extreme amount of tension and either stretch or torque, providing enough force to help you move the door.

There are several types of garage door springs to consider when replacing them.
 

Extension springs stretch alongside the door's horizontal tracks to help counterbalance its weight. These systems should include safety cables.

Torsion springs are typically mounted above the door opening. They store and release torque to help lift and lower the door. The correct spring system depends on the door's weight, size, and design.

Signs that your spring system needs professional attention include a visible break, a loud bang, a crooked door, or a door that struggles to open. These symptoms can also involve cables or other components, so an inspection is important.

Do not adjust springs, loosen spring hardware, or attempt to lift a door with a suspected broken spring. Stop operating the door and call ACTSYS to schedule a professional inspection and repair.
