Springs are the components that actually lift the door. When a spring breaks the door will not move and trying to open it could potentially cause damage to the opener and even to the door tracks.
Broken springs are by far the most common garage door repair Clifton NJ call we get. Many of these calls are as a result of a hard freeze when the metal of the contracted spring finally breaks. Once a spring is broken, do not run the opener. Leave the door where it is and call a technician. Most double doors run on torsion springs, and many single doors on extension springs. When one spring breaks we check the other, because it is usually near the end of its life too.
We initially consider these issues as “opener problems”. The motor is running but nothing is happening with the door.
The door is reversing for no reason. The remote control is not functioning from the driveway. Many garage door repair Clifton NJ calls start out as “opener problems” but as we dig into the issues they reveal themselves to be a variety of problems including drive gear failures, misaligned photo eyes, failing logic boards and dead remote batteries. Spring and cable work belongs to a trained technician, never a homeowner. The same goes for the drive gear and wiring inside the opener. We fix and replace LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman, and many other garage door openers. We can also schedule the repair and send a confirmation to a property manager.
Cables extend from the bottom of the door corners to the drum. They carry the lifting force from the springs to the door.
A frayed or broken cable will cause a door to fall to one side and get stuck in the track. The tracks can also bend if a car hits them or if an unbalanced door, which is very heavy, has been operating for a long time. Never pull the red release cord while the door is open or jammed. Pull it only when the door is fully closed. A door that comes off track can weigh 200 pounds or more, and it can drop without warning. Keep people and vehicles clear until a technician secures it.
One dented or cracked panel does not have to mean a whole new door. If the frame and hardware are solid, we can swap the damaged section.

Clifton’s freeze-thaw winters are the biggest driver of garage door repair Clifton NJ calls our techs see.
Temperatures swing hard between January lows and July heat, and that cycling works metal springs and cable strands the way bending a paper clip back and forth does. Nor’easters blow in off the coast with enough wind loading to rack a door out of square and drive water under the bottom seal. The International Door Association publishes maintenance guidance that’s worth reading before the next storm season. Clifton’s blocks are full of mid-century colonials and postwar split levels, many with single-car garages and original doors, and they account for a lot of garage door repair Clifton NJ calls.

The part that brought the technician out is rarely the only worn one, since rollers and other hardware tend to fail at about the same time. Similar homes, some of them multi-family dwellings, are located on Route 3 and Van Houten Avenue.
