A 15-year-old double-car garage door in Rocky Hill, CT was opening slowly and closing fast due to a broken torsion spring. We replaced the original springs with new medium-quality torsion springs.
A homeowner in Rocky Hill, CT contacted us after noticing that his double-car garage door was opening extremely slowly and closing very fast.
Upon inspecting the system, we identified that one of the torsion springs had broken. The springs were original to the house and were 15 years old. When a garage door spring breaks, the system loses the counterweight balance needed to safely lift the heavy door, causing the opener to strain during opening and the door to come down quickly when closing.
We presented the homeowner with a couple of repair options. He chose to go with medium-quality replacement torsion springs. We replaced the torsion springs, restoring balanced and proper movement to the double garage door system.
