Here are a few signs to look for that indicate you may be dealing with a broken spring.

01

Your Door Closes or Opens too Fast or slow.

If your garage door abruptly jerks closed or open, it is likely the springs are experiencing problems. The opener system has a mechanism to control how fast the door lowers and raises. When any springs are damaged, it may interfere with this safety feature due to the excess weight on other components, making it unable to control the speed.

02

Your Door Feels Heavy or Won't Move.

Does your garage door suddenly feel heavy? This may be a sign that your garage door extension springs are broken and in need of replacement. Since garage doors are extremely heavy you put yourself at risk of injury trying to inspect the door on your own. It is best to leave this service to the professionals if you think something is off.

03

Your Garage Door Appears Crooked.

You may think a crooked garage door isn’t a big deal, but it is not a problem to be overlooked. This is typically a sign of the extension springs being broken and requires immediate attention. The door appears crooked from this issue because one side of the door is getting pulled up quicker than the other.

04

There Are Large Gaps in Your Springs.

If a torsion spring has snapped, you could see visible gaps of up to a few inches wide. Sometimes, people can even hear a loud snapping noise coming from their garage and discover a broken spring. This will require a specialist to come in and replace the torsion spring. It is also advised to get the other springs evaluated to ensure all components work properly and none received damage from the broken spring.

05

Your Garage Door's Lift Cables are Loose.

You may find loose cables hanging from your garage and think the issue lies with the cables. In reality, cables will loosen or slack when the torsion springs are broken, adding more stress onto those components. This means the springs are to blame for the issue!

How to Know It's Time to Call Uplift Garage

  • If you find a broken spring, it must be replaced. 
  • If there is separation in the spring, it may either need an adjustment or require replacement.
  • If there’s a loss of tension—it will be visibly stretched out or elongated and needs expert assistance. 
  • If you notice all springs look intact, are not overstretched, or appear symmetrical, it may be another component causing issues. Please reach out for assistance.
