A broken garage door spring is one of the most common reasons a garage door stops working. Many homeowners hear a loud "bang," and suddenly the door won't open or becomes too heavy to lift.

Garage door springs are under high tension, and attempting to repair them without the proper tools and experience can be extremely dangerous. That's why it's always recommended to have a professional handle the repair safely.
