Garage Door Springs
The motor can’t lift the garage door itself—the springs help it lift the door. But they can only wind and unwind so many times. How many times the door opens and closes usually determines how long the spring will last. When these springs snap, the motor can no longer lift the door on its own.
There are two types of springs:
- Extension springs, which are parallel to the track
- Torsion springs, which are parallel to the door
Do You Have a Broken Garage Door Spring?
Common signs that indicate there may be a problem with your garage door’s springs include:
- The door can’t open or close
- The door makes loud noises when operating
- The door doesn’t operate smoothly (indicates that the spring system could be out of balance)
If your garage door spring is broken—or you don’t know what the problem is but your door doesn’t work properly—call local professionals right away. A garage door that isn’t working isn’t something that can wait!
Garage Door Spring Repair in Cincinnati
A broken spring requires immediate garage door repair, so don’t wait to call professionals to come out and inspect (and fix) your door.
If you live in southwestern Ohio, Overhead Door Co. of Greater Cincinnati™ can help. Our trucks carry different sizes of extension springs and we may be able to fix the door in one visit. But because of the different sizes of torsion springs, we may clamp the broken spring (making it functional again) and return on a separate visit with a new custom ordered replacement spring, which can help your garage door function better.
We offer 24-hour emergency garage door service, so we can assist you whenever you need it, no matter the time. Contact us today for fast garage door repair in the Cincinnati, Ohio area!
