Symptoms
Signs your garage door spring may be broken
Spring problems often show up suddenly. The opener may hum without lifting, the door may rise a few inches and stop, or the door may look crooked because one side is carrying more weight than the other.
Door feels too heavy
The spring system balances the door. Without it, the door can become unsafe to lift.
Loud pop from the garage
Many homeowners hear a sharp pop when a spring breaks, even if the door is not moving.
