Understanding Garage Door Springs

Garage doors are equipped with two main types of springs: torsion springs and extension springs. Torsion springs are located above the door and work by twisting to lift the door, while extension springs are located on either side of the door and stretch to open it. Both types of springs are critical for the smooth operation of your garage door, and over time, they can wear down or break due to constant tension and stress.

When a spring breaks, it not only prevents your garage door from functioning properly but can also pose a safety risk. Understanding how these springs operate and the potential issues that can arise is crucial for every garage door owner in Pickering.

Signs You Might Have Broken Springs

Identifying a broken garage door spring may not always be straightforward, but there are common symptoms to look out for:

  • Door Won't Open or Close: If your garage door is stuck in one position, it may be due to broken springs.
  • Uneven Movement: If the door moves unevenly or appears to be tilted as it opens and closes, it can indicate a broken spring.
  • Loud Noises: A loud bang or popping sound could mean that a spring has snapped under pressure.
  • Slow Operation: If your garage door is opening or closing much slower than usual, this can signal a problem with the springs.
  • Visible Damage: Sometimes, you may notice a gap in the spring or the spring itself may appear to be deformed or stretched.

If you observe any of these symptoms, it’s essential to contact a professional for an assessment.

The Importance of Addressing Broken Springs Promptly

Broken springs can lead to further damage to your garage door system if left unattended. This could result in costly repairs down the road. Additionally, a malfunctioning garage door can jeopardize your home’s security. Ensuring your garage door is in optimal condition protects not just your property but also your family.

Safety Concerns with Broken Springs

Safety should always be your top priority when dealing with garage door issues. Broken springs can create a significant hazard, as they are under immense tension. Attempting to replace or repair broken springs without proper tools and expertise can lead to serious injury. This is why it’s crucial to hire trained professionals, like Elite Garage Tech, to handle such repairs.
