Signs Your Garage Door Spring is Broken

If your garage door suddenly stops working, there’s a good chance the spring snapped. You might notice:

Loud Bang in the Garage

A broken spring often makes a sharp, gunshot-like sound when it fails.

Garage Door Won’t Open

If the spring is broken, the door becomes too heavy to lift by hand.

Opener Strains to Lift

Your opener may try but can’t raise the full weight of the door without spring support.

Door Opens Unevenly

When one spring fails, the door may tilt or rise crooked.

Gap in the Spring Coil

A broken spring often separates, leaving a visible gap in the coil.

Cables or Hardware Look Loose

When a spring breaks, the extra strain causes hardware to hang loose or shift.

Don’t force it — broken springs can be dangerous. Call us and we’ll take care of it safely and quickly.
