A spring carries major tension as it helps counterbalance the weight of a garage door. When a spring fails, the door may suddenly feel extremely heavy or the opener may struggle.
Do not attempt to loosen, remove or wind a spring yourself. If the door is jammed, avoid forcing the opener. Keep people and pets away from the area and arrange a professional inspection.
At Tolbert Garage Door, we offer free on-site estimates so a technician can assess the problem and discuss the right repair approach.
