Signs of a Broken Garage Door Spring

Garage door spring failure often changes how the entire door feels and moves. Because springs store substantial tension, diagnosis and replacement should be approached cautiously.

Common Clues

• A loud bang was heard near the garage
• The door suddenly feels much heavier
• The opener struggles to lift the door
• The door rises unevenly
• A torsion spring has a visible separation in its coils

These symptoms can overlap with other failures, so they are clues rather than a substitute for inspection.
