The springs are the parts of the garage door that do the hard work. When a spring breaks the garage door cannot be safely opened or closed.
Most garage door repair Sheridan CO calls for a door that won’t open trace back to a spring. We service the torsion springs that are mounted above the garage door as well as the extension springs that are mounted on the sides of the garage door. Once a spring is broken, do not run the opener. Leave the door where it is and call a technician. If all your opener needs is a new drive gear then we’ll let you know before we start talking about a completely new unit. That’s how we work.
Opener problems show up in a few ways: the motor runs but the door doesn’t move, the door reverses for no reason, or the remote stopped pairing.
Our technicians handle LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie and Craftsman openers alike. Drive gears, logic boards, photo eyes, safety sensors, remotes, and full replacement all fall under garage door opener repair Sheridan co work our techs do regularly. Spring and cable work belongs to a trained technician, never a homeowner. The same goes for the drive gear and wiring inside the opener.
Cables run from bottom of door up to the drums and are under tension even with a good spring.
A cable can suffer damage and break unexpectedly if it is frayed. Never pull the red release cord while the door is open or jammed. Pull it only when the door is fully closed. Problems with tracks are generally obvious, such as bent, pulled-away or twisted sections of track. We then attempt to straighten the affected section of track or replace it altogether and inspect the rollers too, as a misshapen track often causes considerable damage to the rollers that run on it.
Even a single damaged panel can cause problems with a door, and often the damage extends to the surrounding frame as well, which we will assess before any work begins.
For off-track doors the physics are unforgiving. 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. Many of the garage door repair Sheridan CO calls involving off-track doors are single sided off-track events that were caused by a snapped cable. These two problems travel together in harsh climates more so than in mild climates and can often cause each other.

Temperature variation affects steel. An 8-9 year old cycled steel spring has very little tolerance left in it.
Steel springs fail most often after the first hard freeze of winter. That is why we get so many cold-weather calls for spring failure. Cold metal is less forgiving than warm metal. A worn spring will fail on the coldest morning of the year. The International Door Association outlines the maintenance that is recommended to be done prior to winter. The Sheridan neighborhood is comprised of many mid-century ranch homes and post-war homes with two-car garages. Overhead doors of this nature were likely installed in the 1990s and early 2000s. As a result, torsion springs are on their second or third cycle, openers have worn drive gears, and the bottom seal has never been replaced. Many of the Garage door repair Sheridan CO inspections performed on these types of doors will uncover additional worn parts beyond what initially needed repair. This is a common finding on many of the older rental properties in the Hampden corridor that are managed by property managers.

Don’t try to open the door manually or run another cycle, as this can damage the panel or cause additional harm to the opener on top of the broken spring.

Is this a common problem? It can be caused by a faulty wall button getting stuck or shorting out. An older garage door opener set to a fixed code can also sometimes pick up signals from neighboring remotes or passing signals. The cause can sometimes lie with the control board. Our garage door repair Sheridan CO technician will track down the problem for you.
No figure will be provided until our technician takes actual measurements of your door to figure out what type of spring(s) your door requires based on the weight of the door and the size of the drum. You get that quote in writing before any work starts.
Yes. Steel weakens with cold weather. Thus a nearly worn out spring is most likely to break on a cold morning as opposed to a mild one. Springs that are nearly worn out are most likely to snap during the first hard freeze of the season. If your door is over ten years old it is best to get it serviced before winter arrives.
