A garage door malfunction may occur when a spring suddenly gives out. There are two types of springs—torsion and extension—and both are responsible for holding weight as your garage door moves up and down. It is crucial to have a professional regularly inspect the springs in your garage door system near Wyckoff.

As you’ll see in this video, garage door springs can become very dangerous if they break or malfunction. The metal springs are mounted above the garage door, typically toward the middle. As the garage is lifted or lowered, the springs will wind or unwind. Over time, the springs can wear out and suddenly break. Garage door spring repairs or replacement should only be handled by a professional garage door repairman. A professional will be qualified and knowledgeable, and will have the correct tools to inspect and replace garage door springs.
