A broken garage door spring is a major inconvenience. It can leave your vehicle trapped out of the garage or even trapped inside your garage. If you have a broken spring, you already know the inconvenience that it brings, but do you know what your next step should be?
Don’t Attempt a Repair
When you have a broken garage door spring, you should not try to open the door manually. Garage doors are extremely heavy without the function of all the required springs to support the weight. Opening a garage door with broken springs can damage your garage door opener and the garage door itself.
Unless you have professional experience with garage doors and the necessary special tools, you should never attempt to replace your garage door springs. It is not a simple DIY project. Injury can occur if you have no experience due to the tension of the springs and the weight of your garage door. If a garage door is not installed correctly or has the wrong part, it may result in further damage to your door.
