Is Your Garage Door Stuck? It Might Be a Broken Spring!

Imagine you are ready to head to work or school or practice. You press the button to open the garage door, but instead of the door sliding up, you hear a loud BANG! Or maybe the door starts to move but then stops and feels way too heavy to lift.

If that sounds like your morning, you probably have a broken garage door spring.

At Wagmore Garage Doors , we help families get their cars moving again with fast and safe broken garage door spring repair.

What Does a Garage Door Spring Do?

Most people think the motor (the opener) does all the heavy lifting. But the springs are the real muscles!

  • The Counterbalance: Garage doors are very heavy. The springs use "tension" to make the door feel light enough to lift with one hand.
  • The Helper: When the spring breaks, the motor isn't strong enough to lift the door alone. It’s like trying to lift a refrigerator without any help!

Signs You Need a Spring Repair

  1. The Loud Pop: You heard a noise like a firecracker coming from the garage.
  2. The Gap: You look at the metal coil above your door and see a 2-inch gap where it snapped in half.
  3. The Heavy Door: You try to pull the emergency cord and lift the door, but it won't budge.
  4. Jerky Movement: The door starts to go up but crookedly or gets stuck halfway.

Why You Should Never Fix It Yourself

We know it’s tempting to try a "DIY" fix, but garage door springs are under a lot of pressure.

** Safety Warning: If a spring snaps while you are working on it, it can be very dangerous. It is much safer to call a professional who has the right tools to handle the tension.
