Garage Door Spring System Types

Our experienced team can handle any garage door spring system, including:

Torsion springs: A torsion spring is a large coil mounted above your garage door on a shaft. The spring unwinds in a steady motion, transferring torque to cables that lift the door. When the spring winds back up, it closes the door.
Extension springs: These springs mount to either side of the garage door. They are easier to see than torsion springs since they lack a protective cover. An extension spring uses stored energy. As the springs retract, they pull cables to open the door, then they release the stored energy to close the door.
TorqueMaster® Plus: Garage door manufacturer Wayne Dalton developed this exclusive torsion spring variation. The system features springs enclosed in a steel tube with an antidrop device for safety.

Signs of a Broken Garage Door Spring

Recognizing the signs of a faulty spring is crucial to avoid serious damage or safety risks. Here are some red flags to look and listen for:

Unreliable operation: Worn springs can cause your garage door to get stuck or only open and close partway.
Gaps in the coil: Take a look at the springs. Does it have visible spaces between the coils? Gaps signal a snapped spring and need urgent attention.
Loud bang: When a spring breaks, it often makes a loud noise like a firecracker exploding. This sound comes from the spring releasing energy.
Heavy door: Broken springs fail to counterbalance the door’s weight. Without functioning springs, your door becomes heavy and hard to lift.
Loose cables: Check for loose or hanging wires indicating a snapped spring.
Uneven movement: Watch for lopsided or jerky movement when your garage door opens and closes. An imbalanced door means one spring has failed, placing more pressure on the functional spring.
Slamming door: Damaged springs can cause the garage door to close without warning. A sudden drop poses a serious safety risk for anyone near the door.
Overworked opener: Is your garage door opener making strange sounds or struggling to lift the door? When springs stop pulling their weight, the opener has to work harder to compensate.

If you’re facing a snapped torsion or broken garage door extension spring in the Twin Cities, call your local professionals at Crawford Door Sales.
