Why it is Best to Have a Professional Install or Repair Garage Door Springs

The spring system in garage doors ensures their smooth and uninterrupted operation. A faulty or worn-out garage door spring, if not repaired immediately, causes inconvenience and can lead to severe safety issues for the family. 

Experts strictly advise against attempting garage door spring repair or replacement due to potential safety concerns. Here is why it is best to hire a professional garage door installation and repair service to fix any issue with the garage door springs:

Ensures safety

Garage doors are heavy. The springs are tightly wound and lift all the weight, keeping them under a lot of tension at all times. A broken or faulty garage door spring poses a severe safety hazard. Incorrect handling of the springs can cause severe and sometimes fatal injuries if the door falls suddenly. Working with the garage door based on tutorials and videos without any practical knowledge can cause more harm than good to the garage door. 

Training and experience

Garage door spring repair or replacement requires careful handling and precision. The spring replacement process requires choosing the correct garage door springs, measuring and cutting them properly, and calibrating them carefully to ensure smooth door movement. Improperly installed springs can damage the garage door components and cost hundreds of dollars in repairs. Professionals have the expertise to avoid injuries and accidents and complete the task without any room for error. 

Right tools and equipment

Rarely will the average homeowner have all the tools required for garage door repair. Professionals have the necessary tools, safety gear, and the know-how to use them to ensure safe and efficient spring repair or replacement. Homeowners can enjoy peace of mind with professionals managing the job to deliver quality and long-lasting results.

Save time

Repairing or replacing garage door springs is not as straightforward as it appears. Typically, when a homeowner attempts these repairs themselves, a professional will need to step in to complete the repair. A garage door service technician will do the job quickly and correctly, making the garage door operational in no time and saving homeowners time and effort. 

Warranty

Professional garage door spring repair and replacement come with a warranty. It protects the homeowners from incurring additional expenses if any problem arises with the springs within the warranty period. Handling the spring repair and replacement on your own provides no such benefit.

Call a garage door repair and installation service immediately if you notice signs of broken or malfunctioning garage door springs. Inspect the door regularly to see if the door:

  • feels heavier,

  • moves slowly,

  • falls quickly,

  • has jerky movements,

  • loose or broken cable,

  • balance issues,

  • makes excessive noise, or

  • has a visible gap between springs. 

Professional assistance helps avoid the threats and the hassles associated with DIY garage door spring repair and replacement.
