A broken torsion spring is one of the most common reasons a garage door suddenly becomes difficult or impossible to open.
The easiest sign to spot is usually a visible gap in the spring, like the ones shown in these photos.
Other common signs include:
✅ The door suddenly feels extremely heavy
✅ The opener strains, stops, or won’t lift the door
✅ The door moves unevenly
✅ Cables may become loose or look out of place
✅ You may have heard a loud bang from the garage when the spring broke
Your garage door opener is not designed to lift the full weight of the door by itself. The spring system does most of that work.
So if a spring breaks, don’t keep forcing the opener. That can put unnecessary strain on the motor and other parts of the system.
And most importantly, don’t try to adjust or replace the spring yourself. Garage door springs are under a tremendous amount of tension and should be handled with the proper tools and experience.
