After a broken extension spring prevented a garage door from opening in Middlefield, CT, we replaced the full spring and cable system across both doors for smooth operation.
When a garage door fails to open, a broken spring is frequently the underlying issue. A homeowner in Middlefield, CT, recently reached out to us after discovering their garage door would not lift. Upon inspecting the system, our technician found that one of the extension springs had snapped.
Extension springs work under high tension to counterbalance the weight of the door. When one spring breaks, it disrupts the balance and prevents the opener from raising the door. After reviewing the condition of the hardware and discussing options with the customer, the decision was made to replace the entire system across both garage doors. This full replacement included new springs as well as replacing the pulling cables on both doors to ensure even tension and dependable performance.
After completing the installation and performing a complete check of the setup, both garage doors were back in proper working order. Replacing worn components on both doors at the same time helps prevent future uneven wear and keeps the system running smoothly.
