Broken Garage Door Spring? Don't Keep Operating the Door.
Garage door springs counterbalance your door's weight, and when one breaks or loses tension, the door may become extremely heavy, stop opening, move unevenly, or strain the opener. Hopper's Garage Services provides professional garage door spring repair and replacement throughout the Denver Metro Area, backed by more than 20 years of hands-on experience.
Signs of a Broken or Failing Garage Door Spring
A broken spring isn't always difficult to recognize. You may hear a sudden loud bang from the garage, discover that the door won't open, or notice that the garage door is behaving differently than it normally does.
Common warning signs include:
-
A loud bang or snapping sound from the garage
-
The garage door suddenly won't open
-
The door feels unusually heavy
-
The door only opens partway
-
The garage door moves unevenly or appears crooked
-
The opener runs, but struggles to lift the door
-
A visible break or separation in the spring
These symptoms can have more than one possible cause, so Hopper's can inspect the garage door and determine whether the spring or another component is responsible.
Garage Door Spring Repair or Replacement?
Garage door springs are wear components that weaken through repeated opening and closing cycles. When a spring has broken or reached the end of its usable life, replacement may be necessary to restore proper counterbalance and operation.
Tom Hopper will inspect the spring system and related garage door components, identify the problem, and explain the recommended repair before beginning the work.

What Should You Do If Your Garage Door Spring Breaks?
Stop operating the garage door and don't attempt to replace the spring yourself.
Garage door springs operate under significant tension and can cause serious injury when handled without the proper tools, training, and procedures. Continuing to operate a door with a broken spring can also place additional strain on the opener and other garage door components.
If you suspect a spring has broken, leave the door in place when possible and request professional garage door service.
