Garage doors have tension springs and cables that help to slowly and safely lower your door while closing. If these tension springs or cables break, you might find that your garage door closes really fast, often with a loud bang when it hits the ground. This is very dangerous as there is nothing preventing the garage door from crushing something that might be below it. It\u2019s best to call a garage door professional as soon as you can to have them come out and repair these cables or springs.
\nOnce the springs break, quite a bit of tension is put on the door cables, and they will often break next. When these cables break, they will snap and forcibly fly out like a broken rubber band. Think about how much it hurts to be snapped by a broken rubber band, and then multiply it by a hundred to account for the size and weight of the garage door cables.
\nRefrain from parking your car in the garage until the garage door is repaired. Additionally, try not to open and close the door while it\u2019s in this condition. With that amount of possible force coming from the springs or cables, they could potentially damage your vehicle or other property in the garage as well as cause serious injury. It\u2019s especially important that you and your family stay away from these cables or springs until everything is repaired.
