Extension Springs

RESIDENTIAL BROKEN EXTENSION SPRING REPAIR

Extension springs on your garage door are the thin springs close to the horizontal tracks. These long springs stretch when the garage door is opened or closed. They see a lot of wear and tear, and sometimes they can snap.

There are a few different kinds of extension springs. Open-looped extension springs have an open wire. If the wire breaks, the whole spring needs to be replaced. Double-looped extension springs have two coils at the end. The strongest option, clipped-end extension springs, are typically used on heavier or oversized garage doors. 

Garage doors are incredibly heavy fixtures, and while most homeowners may believe the opener raises and lowers the door, it’s actually only possible to move the garage door with help from the extension spring system installed at either side of the door. With regular daily use, even the sturdiest extension springs can wear down over time and finally snap. When this event finally happens, you’ll discover it’s nearly impossible to use your garage door.

Broken extension spring repair involves exposing cables and spring wire, which can be dangerous. The team at Crawford Door Sales knows how to quickly and effectively replace extension springs while keeping you and your garage door safe from further damage.

Extension springs need to be the right size to operate effectively. If you attempt garage extension spring repair yourself, choosing the wrong type or size of spring can make your garage door unstable.

When a spring snaps, the weight of the door may make it difficult to manually open. The garage door may become unbalanced, too. If a spring has snapped or you’re not sure whether there’s a spring issue but you notice your garage door is suddenly very difficult to open and close manually, we strongly urge you to avoid using your garage door and to call us right away.

Continuing to use the garage door with a broken extension spring can cause additional damage that may require more expensive repairs. It can even invalidate your warranty.
