Does your garage door seize when it’s going up? Do you hear a loud thump? Do the torsion springs above your door seem detached? If so, you might have a broken torsion spring in your garage door. Torsion springs are positioned above the garage door and they are what lift the actual weight of the garage door. Most garage doors weigh between 150 to 250 lbs. and without working springs, the garage door opener can’t lift the door. Trying to use a garage door opener to lift a garage door with a broken spring can cause many parts on the opener to break.
When a spring breaks, the door won’t go up. Struggling to lift a door with a damaged spring can be extremely hazardous. Attempting to change the springs yourself is even more risky. You should never try to fix a broken spring yourself - only qualified, trained specialists should ever touch torsion springs. Also, replacing a spring requires expertise to know precisely which spring to replace it with. The right springs are determined based off the weight of the garage door.
There are numerous different combinations of springs but only one is accurate for your door. It’s vital to have the correct springs to avoid an assortment of issues in the future. With the wrong springs, your opener will breakdown much quicker and your door is more likely to come off its tracks. It’s disturbing how many installers use the incorrect size springs. Knowing which springs to use can only be determined by practice. Call the experts today!
