3 Signs Your Garage Door Spring is Broken
- Visual damage. Oftentimes springs will just snap. This is caused from excessive stretching and rust. It will no longer be attached to the frame and the cable drums on either side of the garage door.
- Crooked opening. If you have springs on either side of your garage door and one of them fails, it will make the door imbalance upon opening. Typically both garage door springs will be replaced to ensure consistent opening and quality.
- Gaps. Torsion springs often snap in the middle. When this happens you will see a gap caused by the separation of the spring’s sides several inches wide.
