When a spring breaks, the door stops
A broken garage door spring usually announces itself with a loud bang, and from that moment the door becomes nearly impossible to lift — often trapping a car inside. The springs do the heavy lifting, so when one snaps the opener cannot safely take over the full weight. In Southwest Florida, salt-influenced humidity rusts and weakens spring steel over time, so coastal homes tend to see breaks sooner than the cycle rating would suggest.
Do not force the door
Trying to muscle a door open on a broken spring, or running the opener against it, can damage the opener, bend the track, or cause injury. The safest move is to leave the door down and call us. Because broken springs are one of our most frequent calls, we keep common sizes on the truck for fast, single-visit replacement.
Replaced safely, in matching pairs
Our insured technicians release the stored tension safely, install the correct spring for your door weight, and — because a second break is usually close behind — replace springs in matching pairs to keep the door balanced. We test the balance and safety reverse before we leave. Call (239) 215-1600.
