Heard a loud "BANG" inside your garage that sounded like a gunshot or a heavy box falling? 💥
9 times out of 10, that’s a garage door torsion spring snapping overhead.
When a spring breaks, your garage door suddenly becomes 150+ lbs of dead weight. Trying to force it open with your wall button or remote can burn out your motor or bend your top door panels.
What to do if your spring snaps:
Leave the door down and closed.
Unplug your opener unit so no one accidentally tries to operate it.
Do NOT try to lift it manually, garage door springs hold high tension and require specialized winding tools to handle safely.
As a local 4th-generation family business, we keep heavy-duty high-cycle replacement springs stocked on our trucks to handle broken spring repairs safely and quickly across Grass Valley, Nevada City, and surrounding foothill areas.
If your spring snapped or your door won't lift, give our family team a call and we’ll get you taken care of!
