TC Garage Door Repair & Locksmith Services is proud to announce that we have successfully repaired the garage door spring of an existing garage door in Edina, Minnesota. The client was unable to open his garage door even when pulling on the manual release handle. He tried to lift the garage door with his hands, only to discover that it was too heavy and made a screeching sound when attempting to open it.
Our client immediately contacted us since we had previously changed his locks as we also provide locksmith services. We arrived at his home within an hour and inspected the problem. It turned out that he needed a spring repair service for his garage door. We immediately replaced them and now our client's garage door works like a brand-new one!

When your garage door springs break, it can seem like an insurmountable problem: how do you open the door? How do you get the car out? However, a broken spring can be temporarily fixed. Garage doors can be heavy and dangerous to operate if they aren't adjusted properly, so if you expect the garage door to be used frequently (such as a family member using the garage door as their primary entrance or exit), it is best to have the repair done by a professional.
If you need to repair your broken springs on your own, one option is to weld them back together. This would allow the garage door to open and close, however, it does have a limited time before it breaks again. This is done by welding 3 or 4 springs back together, tensioning them out by giving them room to expand, and rotating the spring. As stated, this will only last for a couple of uses and is only available if you have a welding tool.
Another solution is by purchasing temporary spring repair blocks. These are designed to securely hold both ends of your broken springs, allowing for easy opening and closing of a garage door. This is also a temporary fix and is only applicable for emergency uses.
If you choose to do it yourself, keep in mind that garage door springs and related door hardware can cause significant injury if not handled properly. When it comes to using a garage door, safety is the main concern. A malfunctioning garage door can cause accidents and even damage your vehicle. Replacing or fixing a garage door spring protects everyone's safety. That is why contacting TC Garage Door Repair & Locksmith Services for all of your garage door needs is the ideal option!
Yes, you can still open your garage door with a broken spring, though it could be quite challenging for some, just like our previous client’s experience. You might hear some ungodly screeches and there is a chance that the door could fall down on top of you while opening, so it's not recommended.
Garage door springs provide a counterbalance that winds and unwinds when a garage door opens and closes, meaning without this counterbalance, it can immediately fall onto anyone who is underneath it. As the door opener works to open and close the door, the springs provide additional support to the wires and trolley. The door opener isn't designed to support the weight of the door; the springs do, so activating the door is dangerous if the springs are damaged or destroyed.
If you do need to open your garage door for emergencies (such as a fire or an intruder), here's how to do it:
Although this is for emergency use only, it is still a better option than just idly sitting by. However, if you want to make sure that this doesn't happen to your garage door springs, TC Garage Door Repair Services will provide you the telltale signs when you need to replace or repair your garage door springs!
When a spring breaks or becomes misaligned, it can be dangerous. A broken spring could lead to the door falling and injuring someone below. If the springs are misaligned, they might get caught in the garage door opener mechanism, which can damage the opener. To avoid these situations and others, it's always best to have your garage door springs inspected and repaired or replaced as needed. Here are the telltale signs:
