Typically it is the springs that lift the door. The opener pushes the door on a trolley traveling along the rail. The springs counterbalance the weight of the door as it travels.
With one spring broken, the other carries the load alone and the door goes out of balance. Springs at the end of their cycle count typically fail on cold steel mornings in January and February.
Once a spring is broken, do not run the opener. Leave the door where it is and call a technician.
We carry torsion and extension springs for the typical makes and models of doors found in our area. We complete most door spring repairs in a single visit.
Stop using the door and call us.

Spring and cable work belongs to a trained technician, never a homeowner. The same goes for the drive gear and wiring inside the opener.
If the unit is beyond repair, we can usually fit a new one on the same visit, since our trucks carry the common models.
The cables from the spring drum run down to the bottom bracket on each side of the door. When they fray or break, the door will fall unevenly or get stuck in the track. Never pull the red release cord while the door is open or jammed. Pull it only when the door is fully closed.
Bent track, so common with older doors and ones that have had a bump from a car or a bike. We can straighten a section of track or replace it and then run the whole length of track again.

Gahanna is a true 4-season community. During the summer months we can expect temperatures in the 90s with high humidity, which can cause weatherstripping to soften and possibly fail. In the winter months the temperature can drop to around 10°F at night. From our experience, broken springs are most noticed on the coldest mornings of the year. A spring near the end of its cycle count often gives out on exactly those mornings. See the International Door Association for information on proper garage door maintenance and things to check between service calls.
Around Gahanna, the housing stock from the 1980s and 1990s subdivisions off Morse Road and Hamilton Road is getting up in years.

If your door is original to a house built before 2000, it’s worth knowing that before it breaks.

No. That places unusual stress on the motor, the cables and the bottom brackets. In most cases it causes further damage and another trip to finish a simple spring change. Leave the door alone and call for garage door repair Gahanna OH instead. The longer you run the door this way, the greater the chance of more damage.
Unusual noise can originate from a variety of sources including dry rollers, worn hinges, loose hardware and an out-of-balance door. Grinding noise typically is caused by old, dry, un-lubricated rollers, while banging or popping sounds are generally caused by an out-of-balance door. Both of these problems will worsen over time and it is best to have a garage door repair Gahanna OH technician attend to these problems before further wear occurs.

Cold alone does not break a healthy spring. A spring worn out by years of cycles turns brittle at low temperatures, so the cold finally snaps a nearly spent one. That is why garage door repair Gahanna OH calls for snapped springs cluster on the coldest mornings of the year.
On a 2-spring door, the two springs are generally the same age and have gone through the same number of cycles. So, when one finally gives up, the other is often not far behind.

The options will be explained to you when the technician arrives and you can then decide which of the options to go with.
