What Garage Door Springs Do

Springs counterbalance the weight of a garage door so the opener and other components can operate properly.

Warning Signs

Why DIY Spring Repair Can Be Dangerous

Garage door springs and related hardware can be under high tension. Incorrect adjustment or removal can cause serious injury or property damage.

Safer Approach

If a spring appears broken or the door becomes unsafe to operate, keep people away from the area and arrange professional inspection rather than attempting a spring adjustment.
