Broken Garage Door Spring
The garage door springs are a counterbalance to support the sections that raise and lower the door. Without correctly working springs, the door cannot be opened.
The springs are essential to ensuring that your garage door operates safely. With time, the springs on your garage door become weaker and less effective in resisting gravity. If left untreated, the weakening springs will cause other issues that could render your door opener inoperable. In addition to weakening through time and repeated use, springs can distort and break.
