Broken Spring Repair
When your garage door refuses to budge, the culprit could well be a broken spring. A snap from above as you hit the remote is usually this headache's calling card.

Your typical residential setup will either flex its muscle using torsion or extension springs. Torsion springs are wound tightly around a shaft above the garage door, while extension springs stretch along the horizontal tracks on each side. Each type has its own signs of wear and distinct methods for correct repair.The key difference lies in operation: torsion types twist to hoist up that hefty paneling whereas extensions get longer under tension when doing their heavy lifting job. Both can give out without warning—though they typically wave some red flags first—and it’s crucial to call in experts who know how to handle these high-tension components safely.
