This is not a real solution. Springs are full of energy and can release unexpectedly to cause serious injury. You need specialized tools and measurements to work on springs and most people do not have these in their garage with a wrench. This is work for a trained technician. Call the team and let us send a technician to fix the problem for you.

That’s why garage door repair Solon OH calls for snapped springs tend to cluster on the coldest mornings of January and February, when the door’s been sitting in a frozen garage all night.
A grinding or banging noise from your door should be checked before it turns into a bigger problem. Our garage door repair Solon OH techs check whether the cause is dry rollers, worn hinges, loose track parts or a door slightly out of balance, then fix it.
