Garage Door Spring Repair in Castle Rock, CO
A broken garage door spring can make the door too heavy to lift safely. Stay clear of the door and call to describe what happened.
What garage door spring repair involves
Garage door spring repair in Castle Rock, CO starts with identifying the spring system. Torsion springs sit above the door; extension springs run along the sides. Both help balance the door.
Repeated cycles, metal fatigue, rust, and wear can cause spring failure. A loud bang, a coil gap, or a heavy door can be warning signs. The opener may strain because it cannot lift an unbalanced door.
Do not lift the door, adjust the spring, or run the opener. Spring hardware holds high tension. Keep people and pets away, then call.

- A loud bang from the garage

Garage door spring repair questions
A loud bang, a gap in the spring coil, or a suddenly heavy door can indicate a broken spring. The opener may run while the door stays down because the spring no longer balances it. Do not touch the spring or lift the door. Stay clear and call for an inspection. A technician can confirm the cause.

Torsion springs are usually mounted above the garage door and twist to store force. Extension springs run along the sides and stretch as the door moves. Both counterbalance the door's weight, but use different hardware and need correct parts. A technician can identify your spring system. Do not identify the spring by touching it.
A garage door spring can break because of repeated use, metal fatigue, corrosion, or wear. The spring must also match the door's size and weight. A loud bang may be the first sign of failure. An inspection can confirm the cause and check related hardware. The inspection should guide the repair decision.
Whether both springs need replacement depends on the system, each spring's condition, and the door's requirements. Springs may have had similar use, but inspection determines the right repair. Do not test or adjust either spring yourself. Ask the technician to explain the condition of the full spring system. Ask what the inspection found before work begins.
