The Complete Guide to Fixing Garage Door Springs
A garage door spring helps balance the weight of a garage door, making it easy to open and close, whether manually or automatically. It’s made of high-tension steel, which doesn’t last forever and becomes less effective over time. Garage door springs come with different usage ratings, like ‘10,000 uses’ or ‘20,000 uses’. Many buyers think this is a lot, but when you consider that a garage door is usually opened four to five times a day, every day, every year, it makes sense to have such high usage ratings.
How do you know that you need a garage door spring repair?
As your garage door gets older, it works less effectively. The steel becomes less flexible and the door gets heavier. When the springs are new, you only need about 10 pounds of force to lift the door. But as the springs wear out, you have to use more force to lift the door, almost matching its weight.
Old springs put extra stress on a garage door opener. You might notice this when you hear the opener struggling to lift the door.
Worn-out door springs can break suddenly and cause serious harm. When a spring snaps, it can make a loud bang, like a gunshot. This usually happens when the spring is tightly wound. If a spring breaks, the door becomes very heavy, and the automatic opener won’t be able to lift it at all.
Do you need a professional?
When it comes to home repair, it’s best to let the professionals handle garage door spring repairs. While a DIY homeowner with some tools and basic mechanical knowledge can attempt the job, it can be complicated. There are several steps that must be done in the right order, and it’s crucial to have the correct size replacement spring. A small mistake can lead to major issues and costly repairs.
