Watch for these warning signs that indicate it's time to call for professional service.
A sudden loud bang typically means a spring has snapped. The door may still open with the opener, but it's unsafe to use.
If your door suddenly feels much heavier than normal, the springs are likely broken or failing and not providing proper counterbalance.
One side rising faster than the other indicates a spring imbalance—one spring may be broken while the other is intact.
Torsion springs develop a visible gap when broken. Extension springs may hang loosely or show separation.
If your door drifts down when you try to leave it open, the springs can't hold the weight—a sign of failure or wear.
Uneven, jerky movement when opening/closing indicates springs are worn and providing inconsistent tension.
