If you need help with your garage door springs in Ambler, PA, KJ Doors can help. The springs play an important role in your garage door’s operation. They’re responsible for its opening and closing smoothly, but they are also under a lot of tension and can wear out or break. Broken garage springs can cause your door to not open properly or come crashing down, which is why they need to be repaired or replaced as quickly as possible.
Fortunately, KJ Doors provides garage door spring repair and replacement services in Ambler and the surrounding areas, and we can have your broken garage springs restored to perfect condition in no time.
Collin from KJ Door did an excellent job in installing our new garage door opener and checking all of our equipment. He was helpful, friendly and also programmed our cars to open the door. We highly recommend him and KJ Door. Steve K.
Most garage doors are incredibly heavy, and it’s the springs that allow them to open and close easily either manually or with an automatic garage door opener. Garage door springs typically last for 10,000 cycles, with one cycle being the opening and closing of a garage door. Most garage doors will reach this 10,000-cycle limit in seven to 10 years. If you know it’s been that long since your springs have been replaced, you should definitely consider contacting us about a garage door spring replacement.
Other signs that you have broken or worn garage door springs include:
A garage door that doesn’t open
A garage door that opens very slowly
A garage door that jerks suddenly when opening and closing
A crooked or bent garage door
Many of these signs can be chalked up to other causes such as a faulty garage door opener or damage to the door itself, but they can all be caused by broken garage springs. If you notice these signs, check the springs themselves if you can do so safely, especially if the springs are close to 10 years old.
If they have visible gaps or look stretched out, they’re almost certainly worn out and should be replaced. You can also try opening your garage door manually if you disconnect your garage door opener first. If the springs are in good shape, you should be able to open the door easily. If you feel very little resistance and the door stays open, your springs should be okay. If not, it’s time to consider a replacement before you do anything else with your garage door.
