Understanding Garage Door Springs

Garage door springs do the heavy lifting. They balance the door’s weight so your opener doesn’t have to strain. When a spring breaks, the door can’t operate properly.

Two Main Types of Springs:

Torsion Springs
Installed above the door, winding tightly to lift and lower the door smoothly.

Extension Springs
Placed on each side, expanding and contracting as the door moves.

A failure in either style is dangerous and should be repaired as soon as possible.

Signs Your Garage Door Spring Is Broken

Common indicators you need professional spring repair:

• A loud snap or bang from the garage

• Door suddenly feels heavy

• Door won’t lift all the way

• Door rises unevenly

• A visible separation in the spring

• Loose or dangling cables

If you notice any of these, stop using the door and contact Garage Door Shield immediately for safe, expert repair.

Why Spring Repair Should Never Be DIY

Garage door springs are under extreme tension. Trying to repair them yourself can lead to serious injury or costly damage. Our trained professionals:

✔ Safely release and re-tension springs
✔ Install the correct size and type
