This bang can be so loud that some people might think a firecracker went off inside their garage. That\u2019s because garage doors can be very heavy and despite what most people think, it\u2019s not the garage door opener that does the heavy lifting, but rather the heavy-duty springs of the door.<br \/>\nDoors come with one or two torsion springs. If either spring is broken, the garage door opener may struggle to lift the weight of the door or fail to open the door at all. If a spring is broken, call a professional for service as these can be very dangerous to work with. Don\u2019t try to open the door until a professional comes to inspect it and replace the springs. Springs can only be used for a certain number of open and close cycles, and over time they will eventually break and need replacing.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nAt <a href=\"https:\/\/riteawaygaragedoors.com\/\">Rite A Way Garage Doors and Gates<\/a>, we know the ins-and-outs of residential <a href=\"https:\/\/riteawaygaragedoors.com\/garage-door-replacement\/\">garage door repair<\/a>, and we can help you diagnose and repair any garage door issue.
