Frequently asked questions
Can I open a garage door with a broken spring?
Avoid operating it. The door can be extremely heavy, and using the opener may damage the motor or allow uncontrolled movement.
Should both springs be replaced?
On a two-spring system, matching-cycle springs often wear at a similar rate. A technician can inspect both and explain the safest, most economical option.
