Once a spring is broken, do not run the opener. Leave the door where it is and call a technician. We keep in stock a wide variety of springs for the many sizes of doors found in homes in Levittown from the original single-car garage door found in the smaller Cape Cod homes to the heavier two-car garage door found in the expanded ranch homes of later decades. For a two-spring garage, it is generally not advisable to replace only the broken spring and leave the other good spring, as this will only get you back to the same problem in a few months.
Cables that are frayed or broken can cause parts of the door to fall unevenly. A bump from a car bumper or a settling foundation can bend a section of track.
Never pull the red release cord while the door is open or jammed. Pull it only when the door is fully closed. This matters most in older Levittown garages, where nobody may have touched the manual release in years. Our service techs check the cord and the disconnect mechanism on every cable and track call.

The original Levittown houses went up fast and cheap in the late 1940s and early 1950s, and few came with a garage.
Owners added or enlarged many garages here in later decades, and they did not always build them square. That puts uneven stress on a door’s springs and cables over time. We see this on many of our garage door repair Levittown NY service calls. The door may have been binding on one side for so long that the hardware has worn to the door’s angle. If you want to know what a properly balanced door feels like, check out the International Door Association web site for some excellent maintenance information.
