The spring warning (read this before touching anything)
A broken torsion spring stores an enormous amount of energy — enough to cause serious injury. This is one of the few home repairs where DIY genuinely isn’t worth the risk, and every reputable garage door tech will tell you the same. If your door suddenly won’t lift, feels extremely heavy in manual mode, or you heard a loud bang from the garage, you almost certainly have a broken spring. Don’t keep running the opener — it’ll burn itself out trying. Call a pro.
Signs your garage door needs attention
- The door is suddenly heavy, crooked, or won’t stay open
- Grinding, scraping, or popping noises during operation
- The opener runs but the door doesn’t move (or moves a few inches and stops)
- Visible gaps: frayed cables, rusty springs with a gap in the coil, bent track
- The door reverses for no reason — often a sensor alignment issue, sometimes a failing opener
- It’s just old and loud — modern belt-drive openers and nylon rollers are dramatically quieter
What to expect from your vetted garage door pro
- Same-day or next-day service for broken springs — this trade knows you can’t wait a week

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
My garage door won’t open and I heard a loud bang. What happened?
That’s the classic broken torsion spring. The bang is the spring snapping under tension. Don’t force the door or keep running the opener — call a pro. It’s the most common garage door repair and usually fixed in one visit.
Should both springs be replaced if only one broke?
Yes. Springs are installed as a matched pair and age together — when one goes, the other is close behind. Replacing both at once saves you a second service call in a few months.
Repair my old opener or get a new one?
If the opener is more than 10–15 years old, lacks modern safety sensors, or needs a discontinued part, replacement is usually the better value. New belt-drive and smart openers are quieter, safer, and let you control the door from your phone.
How much maintenance does a garage door need?
A yearly tune-up — lubrication, balance test, hardware tightening, sensor check — prevents most surprise failures and extends the life of springs and openers considerably.
