What the spring does
The spring system offsets much of the garage door’s weight so the door can move in a controlled way.
Common signs of failure
Watch for a loud bang, a gap in a torsion spring, sudden difficulty lifting the door or an opener that strains unexpectedly.
A safer next step
Keep clear of spring hardware and do not loosen brackets, set screws or winding components. Arrange professional repair if the spring appears broken.
