GARAGE DOOR SPRING REPAIR
Diagnosing common garage door and garage door opener issues
How many times do you use your garage door on an average day?
The standard household is said to open and close the garage around four times every day. If the door lasts a decade, that can be as much as 18,000 times or more, while a garage door spring is said to last around 10,000 uses or cycles, sources say.
When your garage door spring needs repaired and replaced, here are some signs.
Do I need to arrange for garage door spring repair?
If your garage door doesn’t open at all, it may likely be a sign that something is wrong with the spring.
Keep in mind broken springs can pose a safety threat. Watch for the following and give Garage Solutions VA a call if you notice:
- Loud noises, squeaking
- Tilting, lilting, issues with door staying level
- Increased trouble opening or closing the door
It isn’t advised to repair a broken door spring by yourself because as mentioned, it can be dangerous.
Why are broken garage door springs dangerous?
Broken garage door springs can cause a door to open slightly, with difficulty, or not at all. To prevent further damage or harm to you, others, or nearby property, it is advised not to further mess with a garage door once you notice something like this happening.
When a garage door is opened, cables are pulled taught which connect to the spring. If the torsion spring is compromised, the full weight of the door is no longer supported.
While it may be possible to move the door still after a broken spring, it may further damage the door and cause repair prices to subsequently rise and go from a simple spring replacement to a full door replacement. It can also cause damage if you attempt to fix a garage door spring on your own without the proper tools or know-how.
