A garage door weighs 150+ pounds, and its torsion spring stores enough energy to cause serious injury. If you heard a loud bang and the door suddenly feels extremely heavy, the spring broke — stop using the door and call a pro. Forcing a door with a broken spring burns out the opener too, doubling your bill.
If the door is structurally sound, repair almost always wins — springs, openers, rollers, and cables are all replaceable parts. Consider a full replacement when panels are extensively damaged, the door is decades old and inefficient, or repair costs approach half the price of new. Your pro will give you both numbers.
Check the opener's power, the wall switch, and whether the sensors at the door base are aligned and clean. If the spring is broken (loud bang, door very heavy), stop and call a pro.
Yes — torsion springs store enormous energy and can cause serious injury. Never attempt spring replacement yourself; it's one of the most dangerous DIY repairs.
Typically 10–15 years. If yours is older, struggles, or lacks modern safety sensors, replacement is smarter than another repair.
