Broken Garage Door Spring Repair Is It Safe To Do It Myself ?

Broken Garage Door Spring Repair Kansas City

First common question is :
How do you close a garage door with a broken spring?
Lift the door until it is completely raised along the horizontal rails. If the door is too heavy, discontinue your attempt to lift the door and call a repair service immediately. Some companies, like ours, are able to provide same-day repair services. To close the door, carefully pull the door down slowly.

Why are garage door springs so dangerous?
Garage door springs can be dangerous. The danger lies in what happens if and when the springs suddenly fail. Since the spring is under constant tension, a sudden failure can cause the spring to break apart violently.

Should I replace my garage door spring?
If your door is heavy, and the springs are more than 4-years-old, your springs are in the break range we recommend a spring replacement. If your garaged door is light, then the springs may possibly be the wrong size and you should have it checked out by a professional garage door repair company like Arrowhead Garage Door Co.

Should you replace both garage door springs at the same time?
When replacing tension springs, it is recommended that both springs be replaced and matched because the older, unbroken spring will have lost some of its tension from years of use. Replacing both springs helps to balance the door so that it opens smoothly with equal force being applied to each side of the door.
