How to Fix Broken Garage Door Spring

You may be anxious to get your garage door back up and running quickly, but you should never attempt to replace or repair a garage door spring yourself. These springs are tightly wound and hold an incredible amount of tension—one slip of a wrench or a miscalculated move can send metal parts flying, causing severe injury, property damage, or even catastrophic failure of your entire garage door system. Attempting a DIY fix can also void warranties and lead to more expensive repairs down the line. Instead, it’s best to rely on professionals who have the right training, tools, and replacement parts to handle these repairs safely. Overhead Garage Doors has years of experience working on residential and commercial garage doors throughout Middlesex County, offering same-day service, precise spring adjustments, and long-lasting solutions that restore your door’s balance, improve performance, and keep your family protected.

Signs Your Garage Door Spring is Broken

Your garage door may stop opening and/or closing, make jerky movements, or slam shut if the springs are worn out, broken, or damaged. A malfunctioning spring can throw the entire door out of balance, forcing the opener to work much harder than it should and risking motor burnout. Always operate your garage door manually to avoid injury if you notice these warning signs, and never try to force the door open or shut, as the additional strain can cause cables to snap or rollers to jump off the track. If your garage door is closing too quickly, it often means the spring has completely failed — and doors with this issue are extremely dangerous to handle because of their full, unrestrained weight. Ignoring these problems can lead to severe property damage, such as a door crashing down onto your car, or even personal injury. Calling a trained garage door technician immediately is the safest way to restore proper balance and prevent further damage to your system.
