3 Signs that Indicate you May Have Broken Garage Door Springs
Your garage door’s springs can hold up to 800 pounds, and are responsible for performing its heavy lifting. Strenuous activity can take a toll on your springs, and can cause them to wear out over time. How can you know when your garage door springs are failing? Here are some signs to look for.
#1. Your Door is Difficult to Open
With worn springs, you are likely to notice some resistance when opening and closing your garage door. In some cases, you may not be able to raise your door completely. When using an automatic opener, your door may raise only a few inches and then refuse to go up any farther. This is due to a safety mechanism that kicks in when a problem with the springs is detected.
#2. The Door Falls Fast
Lowering your door should be a very smooth, even process. However, worn springs can cause your door to lower very quickly. In some cases, a door may fall suddenly to the ground-even when you are not trying to close it. This of course can be very dangerous, as the full weight of the door can come crashing down, leaving you with very little time to get out of the way
#3. Unusual Popping or Grinding Noises
Springs that are experiencing problems are under significantly more strain. Accordingly, you may notice that your door makes quite a bit more noise than usual. A loud popping sound while your door is operating could indicate that a spring has finally broken. In that case, you will want to stay clear of your door because it could fall rather suddenly.
