We often get customers asking questions about their broken garage door torsion springs. Many call to confirm that their spring is in fact broken when their door isn’t working.  The big question is why does this happen in the first place!

There are others who call in to get some advice of how to fix a broken torsion spring on their garage door.  We really don’t recommend that you treat this garage door repair as a do-it-yourself project.  The counter balance system of a garage door is very sensitive and there can be several problems created as a result of an incorrect spring replacement.

Here’s a full explanation that I hope will help.
