Commonly Asked Questions About Garage Door Spring Repair

Whether you have a new or older garage door system, you may have questions about repairs. Here are a few questions we often answer about spring repair.

Will My Door Still Work With Broken Springs?

Some people try to use their door with broken springs. While your door will still open with broken springs, it will take a lot of effort to open it manually. You should avoid using the garage door opener because it may burn the motor. If you have one broken spring, the other one usually needs repairs. Unless you have an emergency, we recommend not opening your garage door. Call us right away for repairs.

Should I Always Replace Both Springs?

A garage door has two springs on each side to provide balance and control. We understand replacing one at a time is tempting to save money on repairs. However, if the springs are worn out, it’s important to replace both springs. This will protect against future issues and extend the lifespan of your garage door system.

How Do I Know If I Need Garage Door Spring Repair?

Garage doors can break down when you least expect it. The system has several components, and it’s hard to know what part needs repairs. A few common signs you need spring repairs include loud noises when the door opens or closes, the door is crooked, or you see gaps in the springs. If the automatic opener will not raise the door or the closes too quickly, you should contact us for help. You may also need to call for repairs if the springs are rusty or stretched.
