Springs & SafetySigns of a Broken Garage Door Spring (And What to Do)
A broken spring usually announces itself with a loud bang and a door that will not lift. Here are the warning signs, and why you should never force it open.

Some problems are safe to live with for a few days. Some are not.
If you hear a loud bang, the door will not lift, or the opener hums without moving the door, stop using it and call us. A broken spring leaves the door very heavy, and forcing it can bend tracks and burn out the opener, turning one repair into several.
Squeaks, slow movement, a door that reverses on its own, or a bottom seal that has gone hard are all smaller things worth sorting before they get worse. Either way, the first step is a free consultation, and you approve the price before any work starts.

Who writes these guides?
They are written by 316 Garage Door Services, a family-owned garage door company based in Langley BC, drawing on more than 10 years of service calls across the Lower Mainland.
Can I repair a garage door myself?
Some things, like lubricating rollers or cleaning safety sensors, are fine to do yourself. Spring, cable and track work is dangerous because of the stored tension, so it is best left to a technician.
How do I know when to call a professional?
If the door will not open or close, makes a loud bang or grinding noise, reverses on its own, or hangs crooked, call us. It is better to catch it early than to force a damaged door.
