Recognizing signs that your garage door springs need replacing is crucial for maintaining your garage door system. Warning signs that indicate your garage door springs may need replacing include:

• Difficulty opening or closing the garage door smoothly
• Unbalanced or jerking movements during operation
• Gaps or irregular spacing between coils in the springs
• Visible gaps or separations in the springs themselves
• Issues with safety cables or missing safety cables
• Loud squeaking or banging noises when the door operates

Regularly inspecting your garage door for these signs can help you identify potential issues with the springs early on and avoid unexpected failures.

A broken or damaged garage door spring is a problem that should be addressed promptly by a trained professional. It can damage your garage door and create a hazardous situation for you and your family. At best, operating a garage door with a broken spring will strain the other components of the door and the garage door opener, leading to more costly repairs. In the worst case, a garage door with a broken spring can unexpectedly fall, causing damage or injury. For this reason, we don’t recommend that you attempt to operate a garage door with broken springs. It’s simply not worth the risk. Instead, let our garage door professionals help keep you and your loved ones secure.

It’s not safe to use your garage door with a broken spring. The door will be heavy and difficult to lift, and using the opener can damage it. A broken spring can also cause the door to close suddenly, which is dangerous. It’s best to stop using the door and call a garage door professional for repairs.

The cost to replace garage door springs can vary depending on the type of springs, the number of springs you need, the combination of springs you need, the size and weight of the door, and a few other factors. Each situation will be different. It’s best to get a Welborn technician out to your home for an accurate garage door spring cost estimate.
