Wyoming is a small city of roughly 8,781 people, and the case for it on our list is simple: nowhere we serve is closer, and it is known for its older, historic houses. Older houses mean older door hardware, and torsion springs sized for that door decades ago. A spring on a door like that carries serious load, which is why we replace them in pairs, match wire size and length to the real weight of the door, and never wind a spring on a door that is out of balance.

How can I tell if a garage door spring is broken?

Look at the shaft above the door. A broken torsion spring shows a clean gap of two or three inches in the coil. The other signs: the opener strains and lifts the door a few inches before stopping, the door slams down rather than settling, or it feels impossibly heavy by hand. Do not keep running the opener, it will burn itself out trying to lift a door with no counterbalance.
