Having your garage door spring break down is an unexpected and stressful experience, but it is also one of the most common issues we are called to deal with every day in Shelton CT, and at Noble Garage Doors, we are here to help.
Understanding Your Garage Door Spring
The garage door spring may be either above your garage door, in which case it is referred to as a torsion spring, or it may be located on the side of your garage door, in which case it is referred to as an extension spring. Regardless of its location, your garage door spring is tasked with balancing your garage door and is therefore under a lot of tension. The garage door spring also has a lifespan, which is about 10,000 cycles or 7 to 10 years with average use, and when it breaks down, it means that your garage door is now too heavy for your garage door opener to lift.
Signs that You Have a Broken Garage Door Spring
Some of the common signs that indicate that your garage door spring may have broken down include hearing a loud bang coming from your garage door, your garage door only opening a few inches, your garage door is very heavy when you try to open it, seeing a gap in your torsion spring located above your garage door, and your garage door opener straining when you try to open your garage door.
Why You Should Not Try to Fix Your Garage Door Spring Yourself
Our garage door springs are full of mechanical energy, when they break unexpectedly, they can cause serious injuries to you. Our technicians have the expertise and knowledge to handle the spring in the correct way. One of the most dangerous home repair projects that a homeowner can undertake is replacing and repairing the garage door spring without the right expertise.
Replace Both Springs at Once
We always advise our customers to replace both garage door springs at once, even when the problem is with just one spring. This is because the two springs are the same and they wear out at the same time, the second spring is bound to break within weeks or months after the first spring has failed. This will save you the cost and the hassle of replacing the second spring.
High Cycle Spring Upgrades
If you want your garage door springs to last longer, then we can upgrade your garage door springs to high cycle springs that can last up to 25,000 cycles and even up to 100,000 cycles. If you have a garage door at home and the garage door is frequently used every day, then we can upgrade your garage door spring to a high cycle spring.
