A broken torsion spring is the single most common garage door failure in Weston. Impact Rated Garage Doors Weston replaces springs the same day from our location at 16000 S Post Road, 24 hours a day.
How to Tell the Spring Is the Problem
The clearest sign is a loud bang from the garage, often at night as the metal cools and contracts. Afterward the door will not open with the remote, or the opener strains, lifts a few inches, and stops. Look at the torsion bar above the door: a broken spring shows a visible gap of an inch or two between coils.
Other symptoms include the door slamming down faster than normal, sitting crooked in the opening, or feeling extremely heavy when you pull the emergency release.
Why You Should Not Force It Open
The springs, not the opener, carry the weight of the door. A two-car insulated door can weigh well over two hundred pounds, and with a broken spring that full weight is unsupported. Lifting it by hand risks serious injury and can bend the tracks or strip the opener gear.
Torsion springs are also under extreme stored tension. Adjusting or replacing them requires proper winding bars and technique. This is genuinely not a do-it-yourself repair.
Always Replace Springs in Pairs
Springs on the same door are installed at the same time and accumulate cycles together. When one breaks, the other is at a similar point in its life. Replacing only the failed spring produces an unbalanced door and a second call within months.
We size replacement springs to the actual measured weight of your door rather than assuming the builder specified correctly. Undersized springs from the original build are a frequent cause of premature failure in Weston homes with heavier insulated doors.
