Broken Garage Door Spring Repair
By Brooklyn Garage Doors & Gates
One of the most common garage doors problem, is a broken spring. When a garage door spring is broken, the door cannot work, until you replace the broken spring with a new one. One of the reasons that lead to a broken garage door spring, is lack of garage door maintenance, which should be performed at least every six months. That is why we highly recommend, to provide your garage door with a maintenance service, at least every 6 months, to make sure that door will continue to work in a perfect way for many more years.
If the spring of your garage door is broken, or if you think that the spring need an adjustment, we highly recommend that you stop using the door, and call a garage door company in Brooklyn. If you will continue to use the damaged door, not only that you will make the problem worst, but it can be dangerous to you, or to those who uses the garage door.
A broken garage door spring does not mean that you need to replace the garage door. All it means is that you need to replace the spring, which is a job that can be done by any garage door technician, as long as he is professional and experienced. Whether it is a torsion garage door spring repair, or an extension spring that need to be replaced, it is important to wait for the repairman to fix the spring before using the door again.

Torsion Spring Brooklyn New York
Most overhead garage doors are equipped with either torsion spring system, or extension spring system. The springs are the power that make even the heaviest doors to open so smoothly even when they are being used manually. If your garage door is equipped with torsion spring system, you will be able to see the springs 0 or a single spring in some cases – installed on top of the open, wrapped around the shaft. Those spring are usually installed for commercial garage doors in Brooklyn New York, since they are designed to take more weight when they are properly installed.
If you are searching for a garage door supplier in New York, to purchase torsion springs and to install them by yourself, you should think again. Torsion spring repair is something that require certain tools and of course knowledge that in some cases only a trained garage door technician possess. There are many DIY tutorials online, where you can find explanation on how to replace a torsion spring, but we prefer not to advice in that matter, since after many years of repairing torsion springs in Brooklyn, we saw some cases when trying to replace a torsion spring without the needed tools and experience ended badly.
Extension Spring repair Brooklyn New York
Most overhead doors in Brooklyn New York include extension sparing system. When you look at your door, locate the tracks, and look above them. You will see that above each track there is a spring (In some cases you will find 2 springs on each side). Those are your extension springs. It is important to let you know that every extension spring repair, and it does not matter if it is a spring repair in Brooklyn, or a spring replacement in Greenwich CT, should include safety cables installation. The safety cables may seem like a waste of money to you, since your door worked fine so far without them, but what you should know is one simple thing: Safety cables can save you a lot of money, and in some cases even protect from injuries.
Why the safety cables are so important?
We will demonstrate with a short story. One of our technicians arrived to a garage door repair in Bay Ridge New York. The customer had a problem with one of his safety sensors, and he fixed the problem. When he noticed that the door is working by extension springs, and that there are no safety cables installed, he offered the customer to install them for him.
The customer replied that the door worked fine for 12 years with no safety cables, so there is no reason why it shouldn’t continue to work. After 3 months, we are receiving a call from that customer who ask us to send the same technician that we sent him 3 months ago. When the tech arrived, he see that the spring snapped, and that the customer is laughing. Apparently when the spring snapped, the ring fly and broke his windshield, something that cost him 495$.
So be careful, and never play or test the safety guidelines.
