Your garage door springs<\/a><\/strong> are under enormous tension and do the hard work every time the door moves. When they wear out they can fail suddenly \u2014 leaving your door stuck or unsafe. Here are five signs it’s time to book a spring replacement.<\/p>\n

1. The door feels heavy or won’t stay open<\/h3>\n

If your door slams shut or won’t hold its position halfway, the springs are likely losing tension and can no longer counterbalance the weight.<\/p>\n

2. Loud bangs from the garage<\/h3>\n

A broken torsion spring often makes a loud “bang” like a firecracker. If you heard one and the door now won’t open, stop using it and call a technician.<\/p>\n

3. Visible gaps or rust on the spring<\/h3>\n

A gap in the coil or heavy rust are clear signs of failure. Never attempt to repair springs yourself \u2014 they’re dangerous under load.<\/p>\n

4. Jerky or uneven movement<\/h3>\n

If the door shudders, moves crookedly or one side lifts faster, spring balance is off and needs adjustment or replacement.<\/p>\n

5. The door has passed 10,000 cycles<\/h3>\n

Most springs last 7\u201312 years. If yours are older and the door gets daily use, proactive replacement avoids an inconvenient breakdown.<\/p>\n
