Springs play a huge roll in moving a garage door.

Signs of a Broken Spring

• Garage door not going up.
• Hard to lift manually.
• Visually broken, twisted, or contorted. 

These are both signs of a broken spring. Springs are designed to counteract the force of gravity on the door. Meaning, a garage door spring is supposed to make your door light enough for you to be able to lift it on your own, or for the power of the garage door omotor to lift it up easily.

Springs are extremely dangerous to mess with if you aren’t sure what you’re doing.

**Always make sure to call a professional serviceman to have your springs checked.**
