Broken Garage Door Springs
Damage to garage door springs can be very inconvenient and frustrating. It can stop your garage door from opening and closing properly and can even make it entirely unusable. On top of that, a broken spring can be dangerous. There is a high risk of injury when it comes to opening the door by hand or with your opener when the garage door spring has been damaged. As soon as you notice an issue, contact a garage door repair company like BH Garage Doors. Depending on the problems you are having and the specific system, the springs can be replaced, or the system can be upgraded.
Extension Springs
Extension springs are attached to the track with a system of pulleys and cables that are attached to the bottom brackets of the garage door and are mounted on both sides of the door. If a spring in this system is broken, it can be dangerous. The springs can fly off, causing injury or damage. If your extension spring is broken, BH Garage Doors repair experts can upgrade your garage door to a safer torsion spring system or replace the spring. Reach out today if your springs are damaged.
Torsion Springs
Torsion springs are mounted above the garage door opening on a spring bar or torsion tube that has drums at either end. The cables are attached to the bottom bracket of the door. When you close and open the door the cables wrap or wind around the drum and provide movement.

Why Do Garage Door Springs Break?
Some of the reasons garage door springs break include:
Age
Garage door springs undergo significant strain as they lift significant weight multiple times per day. Over the years, the strain on the system will show. As the wear and tear piles up, it’s only a matter of time before the spring breaks.
Corrosion
Even when your garage door and the springs aren’t that old, corrosion can hasten wear and tear and the springs will eventually break. The combination of dust, dirt, and water on your door springs can make them weak and brittle. If you spot signs of rust on your garage door springs, you can lubricate the spring setup to slow down the rate of deterioration.
Inadequate Maintenance
As is the case with most systems in your home, you should call in the experts to check out your garage door once in a while. You can’t afford to ignore regular garage door maintenance if you want your door to keep working efficiently. Broken springs are an issue you’re more likely to see with neglected doors.
To keep your garage door springs from suddenly breaking down, we recommend scheduling yearly maintenance for the entire garage door system.
Poor Installation Work
Your garage door springs are likely to fail if your garage door installers did a poor job in the first place. That’s why you should always work with a company with adequate and verifiable experience in garage door installation.
Manufacturer Defect
Garage doors can break down due to production errors, even when it’s still relatively new. It’s an unlikely cause but one we’ve seen time and again. A qualified garage door expert can spot manufacturer defects quickly.

Cee Cee2024-08-14I called BH Garage Door because my garage door would not go up because the motor was shot. Technician: Guillermo Navarrete from BH Garage Door was surprisingly early, and I did not have to wait until 4:00 p.m. the technician came in analyzed the problem, told me that I needed a motor. I approved the charges and he began to install the motor. A little later on because of his Professionalism he surveyed the outline of the garage door and discovered every part. The bracket, cable, the round wheels on each side of the garage door, that causes the garage to go up and down, the bolts on the garage door were totally rusted out. It was just a matter of time before the garage door collapsed. Needless to say I had the technician replaced everything that needed to be replaced. The technician was thorough, took his time checked and rechecked every aspect of his work including photograph, and the whole nine yards to ensure that I would have no further problems.

Can I DIY Repair My Garage Door?
Generally speaking, you should call a professional for any garage door repair. Garage door components, such as springs and rollers, are under a significant amount of pressure and can cause serious injury if they break. An expert garage door repair company understands how to fix doors quickly and safely.
How Often Should I Replace My Garage Door?
You may need to replace your garage door 20 and 50 years, depending on its material, weather, and maintenance schedule. However, circumstances can vary and your door might require replacement before its natural lifespan is up. Scheduling an inspection from a professional garage door repair company can help you determine your door’s lifespan.
What Is R-Value?
R-value tells you how effective of an insulator a material is. R-values are important for garage doors because heat can escape from your garage. The higher a material’s R-value, the more effective of an insulator it is. For example, a solid wood garage door has an R-value of about 2.17, while a fiberglass door may have an R-value of 5.
How Large Is The Average Garage Door?
The typical single-car garage door is about eight feet wide by seven feet tall. Double car garage doors are about 16 feet wide by seven feet tall. However, you can design a custom garage door to be as large as you need it.
Should I Insulate My Garage Door?
Yes, insulating your garage door is a great investment that can significantly reduce energy consumption during the fall and winter. Homeowners can reduce their annual energy bills by up to 20% by insulating their garage door and sealing their home’s exterior.
What Is The Best Garage Door Material?
The best garage door material depends on your specific needs. In terms of durability, steel is the strongest common garage door material but is a poor insulator. Fiberglass is a highly insulated material that boasts decent durability, whereas wood provides a luxurious appearance. Aluminum is a good material if you need a lightweight garage door for a chain or belt drive opener.
