When garage door springs break, it can cause some major inconvenience. Here’s what to expect:

1. Door Won’t Open or Close Properly: A broken spring will prevent the door from opening or closing smoothly, or at all. Most likely, the door will feel extremely heavy or stay shut.

2. Loud Bang: When a spring breaks, it often makes a loud noise, like a gunshot or a firecracker, because of the tension released.

3. Manual Lifting Difficulty: Without functional springs, manually lifting the garage door can be very hard, especially with heavier doors like steel or wood ones.

4. Safety Concerns: Attempting to operate the door with a broken spring can cause damage to the opener or lead to injuries, so avoid using the opener.

5. Need for Professional Repair: Garage door springs are under high tension, and replacing them can be dangerous. It’s best to call a professional for repair or replacement.

6. Expect to Replace Both Springs: If one spring is broken, it’s a good idea to replace both if you have a dual spring system since the other spring is likely worn out too.

7. Cycle Upgrade: You can opt for high-cycle springs if you’re replacing them, which last longer and reduce the need for future repairs.

Expect some downtime, but with professional help, it can be resolved quickly.

Common garage door repairs include:

1. Broken Springs: One of the most frequent issues. Torsion or extension springs break over time due to wear and tear.

2. Worn or Frayed Cables: The steel cables that assist in lifting the door can fray, break, or come loose, causing improper operation or the door to become misaligned.

3. Malfunctioning Garage Door Opener: The opener itself can fail due to electrical issues, worn gears, or problems with the sensors. Issues like the door not responding to the remote are common.

4. Damaged Rollers: Rollers can wear out over time, causing the door to become noisy, shake, or move unevenly.

5. Misaligned Tracks: Tracks can become bent or misaligned, making the door difficult to open or close.

6. Broken or Bent Panels: The garage door panels can get damaged from impacts (like a vehicle or objects hitting the door) and may need to be repaired or replaced.

7. Sensor Issues: Misaligned or dirty safety sensors at the base of the door can prevent it from closing properly. These sensors are a key safety feature, so they need to be aligned and clean.

8. Worn Out Weather Seals: The rubber weatherstripping at the bottom of the door can wear out, allowing drafts, moisture, and pests to enter the garage. Replacing the seal helps maintain insulation and protection.

9. Noisy Operation: Noisy doors are usually caused by worn rollers, hinges, or springs, and lubrication or part replacement may be needed.

10. Remote or Keypad Issues: Sometimes the remote or keypad fails to operate the door due to dead batteries or internal malfunctions. Simple fixes can involve resetting the opener system or reprogramming the devices.

Many of these repairs are common and can often be resolved quickly by a professional.
