Garage Door Spring Replacement

Indicators of a Damaged Garage Door Spring

If you have a broken garage door spring, it's important not to try to lift the door by hand or use the opener to try to open it. This can be dangerous and can also cause further damage to the garage door and its components, including the electric garage door opener. Replacing garage door springs requires special tools and techniques, and is not a DIY project. Using the wrong size spring or springs can also cause further damage to the door and its components. It's best to call a professional to handle garage door spring replacement to ensure it's done safely and correctly.

!Caution! It is crucial to refrain from attempting any adjustments or replacements on your torsion springs unless you have received adequate training from a qualified professional. Torsion springs are subject to tremendous tension, and mishandling them can result in severe injury or even loss of life.
