Understanding Garage Door Springs

Garage door springs are the power behind your door’s movement. They balance the door’s weight, making it easy to open and close. When they fail, your opener can’t do the job alone.

Two Main Types of Springs:

• Torsion Springs
  Mounted above the door, winding and unwinding to lift and lower the door smoothly.

• Extension Springs
  Located on the sides, stretching and contracting as the door moves.

A failure in either one can be dangerous and should be repaired as soon as possible.

Signs Your Garage Door Spring Is Broken

Here are common symptoms that indicate you need spring repair:

• A loud bang or snap sound

• Door suddenly feels heavy

• Door won’t open fully

• Door lifts unevenly

• Visible gap in the spring

• Loose or hanging cables

If you notice any of these issues, stop using the door and contact KGC Garage Doors immediately for safe, professional repair.

Why Broken Spring Repair Should Never Be DIY

Garage door springs are under extreme tension. Attempting a DIY repair can lead to severe injuries or further damage. Our trained technicians:

✔ Safely release and re-tension springs
✔ Install the correct spring size and type
✔ Ensure proper alignment and door balance
✔ Perform safety checks and operational testing

We carry all spring types in our trucks, allowing us to complete most repairs in one visit.
