What Happens When a Garage Door Spring Breaks?
The spring carries your door’s full weight — up to 400 lbs. When it breaks, the door becomes immovable and unsafe. Forcing it open strains the motor and risks sudden collapse.
Common Signs of a Broken Spring:
Loud bang (like a gunshot)
Door won’t open at all
Opens only a few inches then stops
Opener runs but door doesn’t move
Door feels extremely heavy
Visible gap in the spring
Safety First:
If you notice these signs, don’t force the door. Call our Central Texas experts for same‑day spring replacement in Austin, Round Rock, Georgetown, Waco, Killeen, San Antonio, and nearby areas.
