What are the signs that my garage door springs need replacement?
Several warning signs indicate your garage door springs may need replacement. The most obvious is a door that won't open or opens only a few inches before stopping. You might also notice the door feels extremely heavy when opening manually, or the opener struggles to lift it. Visible gaps in the spring coils indicate a break, and you may have heard a loud bang when the spring snapped. Other signs include the door closing too quickly, uneven movement, or visible rust and wear on the springs. We recommend professional inspection if your springs are more than 7-10 years old, as they can break suddenly and cause injury. Never attempt to repair or replace garage door springs yourself—they're under extreme tension and require specialized tools and training.
