Last night the garage gave a hollow bang, and the door is right at the floor this morning. The spring lifts that weight, and with it snapped, the door has no way to rise.
Our techs weigh the door to determine exact spring size and wire diameter for Midlothian’s specific housing styles, perfectly adjusting coil tension.
You hit the button and the opener cycles, but the door sits frozen mid-cycle. Stripped gears, a burnt board, or a photo eye out of position is usually where we find it.

The door is riding lower on one side, or the whole panel has gone crooked. That door is heavy, so call us for this repair rather than pushing it back.

We match the spring to the door’s weight and cycle rating, not just the closest size on the truck. Once a spring is broken, do not run the opener. Leave the door where it is and call a technician. Running the opener on a broken spring strains a motor never built for that load.
