Frequently Asked Questions — Broken Spring Replacement
Should I replace one spring or both at the same time?
If your door has two torsion springs and one snaps, the second spring has experienced the exact same cycle count and -30°C thermal stress. Replacing both together saves you a second service call fee and balances drum tension evenly.
Can I still open my garage door with a broken spring?
No—do not attempt to force it with your electric opener. The opener is only designed to guide a balanced door, not dead-lift 250 lbs. Running it will strip the drive gear or bend the top panel.
