   ! ##  Stop using the door if you suspect a broken spring. 

Springs hold the weight of your garage door under extreme tension. Do not try to lift the door, loosen hardware, or replace the spring yourself. Keep people and pets clear and schedule a professional inspection.

What to look for

## What a broken torsion spring looks like

A visible gap in the coil is a strong sign the torsion spring has snapped. Leave the door where it is, keep people and pets clear, and do not touch the spring or its hardware. Here are some of the symptoms of a garage door with a broken spring:

###  The door only opens a few inches 

The opener may strain or stop because the spring is no longer helping lift the door.

###  You heard a loud bang 

A breaking torsion spring can sound like something heavy hit the garage floor.

###  A visible gap in the spring 

A separation in the coil above the door is a clear sign the spring has snapped.

###  The door feels unusually heavy 

Without proper counterbalance, the door may be difficult or unsafe to move by hand.
