Can I open my garage door with a broken spring?
“Not safely. The spring does almost all of the lifting, so the door is suddenly very heavy and can drop. Pull the red emergency release only if the door is fully closed, and call a technician rather than forcing it open.”

“Yes. Emergency service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays.”
View in the company profileIs it safe to replace a garage door spring myself?
“We don't recommend it. Torsion springs store enough energy to cause serious injury, and the job requires winding bars and the right spring size for your door's weight. It's the most common cause of DIY garage door injuries.”

“Pull the emergency release and try lifting the door by hand about halfway. If it stays put and moves smoothly, the door is balanced and the problem is likely the opener. If it's very heavy or slams down, the springs or cables are the problem — stop and call us.”
