Signs a garage door spring may be broken

A spring issue can make a garage door unsafe to operate. If you notice these signs in Crossville or Cumberland County, stop using the door and request an assessment.

What you can check

A visible gap in a torsion spring can indicate a break. Observe it from the floor; do not touch it.
A loud bang, a door that suddenly feels very heavy, or a door that lifts only a few inches can also point to a spring problem.
Tell us what you noticed and whether the door is open, closed, or partly open.
