Life was going great before this happened. You were having a good day at work, traffic was easy and your footy team even won on the weekend.
You get home and your garage door isn’t budging. You check it out – one of the spring has snapped right in two.
What do you do? It can be a seriously frustrating situation, but there’s no need to panic; fixing your garage door spring is actually quite simple. Here, the experts at Star Door Service address the question of how you can fix your garage door spring.
You don’t; a professional does
The first thing to do to fix a broken garage door spring is simple: nothing at all. Don’t reach for the tool kit, don’t put on your work boots and don’t even think about jumping on Google to see what WikiHow has to say about it – they’re never right about anything.
The only thing you should do in order to fix a garage door spring is to call up a professional door technician, like the ones at Star Door Service.
Why you should never attempt to fix a torsion spring on your own
There are myriad reasons why attempting to fix a garage door spring isn’t a good idea.
It’s dangerous
Firstly, it’s dangerous. In fact, before you even know what a torsion spring looks like, you should be alarmed by its name: torsion spring. It holds a lot of tension and, if that’s not dealt with properly, it could result in a serious injury. Some of the things you risk when improperly fixing a garage door spring include:
- Doors falling due to improper support
- Fingers getting caught in the railing
- Springs backfiring due to stored potential energy
- Tools and appendages being rapidly twisted
- Faulty installation that could put you at risk later
