5 Signs Your Garage Door Spring is About to Break
Published on February 28, 2024
Your garage door is the largest moving object in your home. The springs do the heavy lifting, not the opener. Here is how to tell if they are failing.
## 1. Loud Banging Noises
If you hear a sound like a gunshot coming from the garage, your spring likely just snapped.
## 2. The Door is Heavy
Disconnect the opener (pull the red cord). Can you lift the door easily with one hand? If not, your springs are worn out.
## Why Call a Professional?
Springs are under extreme tension. Replacing them without proper tools can result in serious injury.
