Broken Torsion Spring |
If you see this on your door get it fixed asap. Torsion springs are very dangerous and should be replaced by a qualified Garage Door Company. The reason for this post is that a lot of openers out there will continue to lift your door even with one of the two springs broken. But, by doing that it will chew up the internal gears of the opener causing a much higher repair bill than if caught right away. I would even go so far as to say just take a peek up at your springs every once in a while in the winter especially to make sure you are not causing damage to your opener due to a broken spring. Thanks and have a great day!
