Anyone who has a property with a garage knows that a garage door is important. But just like with any other component of your property that is used over and over again, eventually problems can come up. Your garage is probably very important because it is where you store your vehicle. If you live in an area with very hot summers, you don’t want your vehicle just sitting outside baking in the heat. Needless to say, the garage stores important items, therefore, it’s important for the garage door to function properly. If something goes wrong, it could end up leaving your valuables completely exposed – or it (the garage door) could even come crashing down on top of your valuables.

Now, let’s cover things that can potentially go wrong with regard to garage doors – like garage door spring issues. Our company is here to tell you that a problem with your garage door springs isn’t as small as it might seem to be (www.lawrencevillegaragedoor.org). Sure, the garage door springs are small in terms of their size, but this does not mean that their purpose is not quite sizeable. This translates to this concept: when you find yourself having garage door spring issues, you need to ensure an expert is called quickly. If you don’t deal with garage door spring issues, problems could end up growing bigger and bigger. You can end up being left with a completely non-functional garage door or one that has to be replaced completely if it ends up crashing down. The point is, it’s important to have spring issues repaired fast!

Identify Garage Door Spring Issues
Now that you know the garage door and the springs are important, let’s talk about different garage door spring issues. To recognize them, you need to pay attention to your garage door. If you use this part of your property on a daily basis, you might be more likely to notice that something is wrong fast. Maybe your garage door gets stuck when you are trying to use it. Or perhaps you hear a strange noise when you use the garage door. Here are some clear indications that you have a spring issue:
•    A gap is visible in your spring. This indicates that something is not right. If you see rust or corrosion, this is also a problem.
•    Your garage door doesn’t function efficiently. Perhaps it gets stuck or jolts. Again, this could be a spring issue.  
•    You are able to visibly see your garage door spring hanging down.

Again, these are just a few of the potential things that indicate something might be wrong with your springs. You should note that there are different kinds of springs. Extension springs run parallel to the garage door’s track, while torsion springs are located above the door. An expert, like our business, can repair either kind of spring.
 
Garage Door Spring Replacement
If you aren’t trained in carrying out replacement for garage door springs, we can simply tell you that it is a bad idea to attempt it. We have heard from customers who heard something off in their garage, while they were not even in it. Then they realized that it was the garage door. They might then realize that a spring is hanging from the garage door (we have received phone calls from locals in our service area facing this issue). Unfortunately, some people attempt to replace the spring without the right skillset and parts and tools. The good news is, you should be able to call someone who is licensed and insured for 24/7 emergency assistance (garage door service). It’s important either way to call an expert, who will then need to determine the weight of your garage door and kind of spring needed. You could end up with a spring that is unable to support the weight of your garage door if you try to do this yourself and don’t get the proper spring. You don’t want to have to release the door cables if you don’t know what you are doing. Of course, a spring could snap and cause a whole lot of damage, too. At the end of the day, just call an expert if you think there is an issue with your springs, because it’s not a DIY task.
