Can your garage door pass?
Here’s a quick test that can tell you a lot about the health of your garage door.
Step 1
Close your garage door completely.
Step 2
Pull the emergency release cord to disconnect the opener.
Step 3
Lift the door by hand until it’s about halfway open.
Step 4
Let go carefully.
A properly balanced garage door should stay close to where you left it.
❌ If it falls…
❌ Shoots upward…
❌ Feels unusually heavy…
❌ Or is difficult to lift…
…your springs may be worn, improperly adjusted, or another issue could be affecting the balance.
⚠️ Never attempt to adjust or replace garage door springs yourself. Springs are under extreme tension and should only be serviced by trained professionals.
If your garage door doesn’t pass the balance test, we’d be happy to inspect it and make sure it’s operating safely.
