A broken garage door spring is one of the most common and serious garage door problems. Your garage door springs are responsible for lifting and lowering your door smoothly, and when they snap, your door may become stuck, unbalanced, or completely inoperable. At Ready to Roll Garage Doors, we specialize in fast, professional garage door spring replacement in Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, and surrounding areas.
Signs You Have a Broken Garage Door Spring:
If you notice any of the following issues, your garage door springs may be damaged and in need of immediate replacement:
Loud Bang or Snap – A garage door spring can snap suddenly, creating a loud noise that sounds like a firecracker or gunshot.
Garage Door Won’t Open or Feels Heavy – If your garage door won’t lift or feels much heavier than usual, your torsion or extension springs may be broken.
Door Opens Partially and Stops – If your garage door only lifts a few inches before stopping, the opener's force settings may be detecting a spring failure.
Cables Appear Loose or Slack – Garage door cables may become loose when the spring system fails, making the door look uneven.
Door Closes Too Fast – If your garage door slams shut quickly, it’s likely due to a lack of tension from a broken spring.
Gaps in the Spring Coil – Visually inspect your torsion spring above the door. If you see a gap, the spring has snapped and needs replacement.
Types of Garage Door Springs We Replace:
At Ready to Roll Garage Doors, we replace all types of garage door springs, including:
Torsion Springs – Mounted above the garage door, these springs wind and unwind to provide lifting power.
Extension Springs – Located along the sides of the door, these stretch and contract to assist with movement.
High-Cycle Springs – Upgraded, long-lasting springs designed for durability and frequent use.
