Garage Door Springs can be one of the most dangerous items in your home. Be aware that when they break, the spring’s power, velocity, pressure, and weight can be like a missile and deadly.
Garage Door Safety
It is vital to have a service company come and check the springs at least once a year. Garage Door service should be on your homeowner’s list of services annually, like heating and air conditioning units. Remember, Garage Door Companies do these replacements daily and have the equipment, correct parts, expertise, insurance, and many other protections to do the replacement installation.
Below is helpful information regarding garage door spring issues.
Signs of Faulty Garage Door Springs
-
Visible Wear or Damage: Look for gaps in the springs, rust, or stretched coils that indicate wear and tear.
-
The door Won’t Open or Close Properly; if the garage door feels heavy, doesn’t open all the way, or slams shut, it might indicate broken springs.
-
Loud Bang Noise: A loud snap or bang may signal a spring has broken due to sudden tension release.
-
Uneven Door Movement: The door may appear crooked or uneven while moving, often due to one spring failing while the other is still intact.
-
Garage Door Cables Look Loose; Cables may appear slack or detached when springs malfunction.
-
The door is hard to lift manually; springs help counterbalance the door’s weight, but they may be faulty if it’s challenging to lift manually.
-
The Door Moves Too Quickly: The door may fall rapidly without spring tension, which is dangerous.
