The garage door springs have two types: Torsion Springs and Extension Springs. Your garage door must consist of one of the two, subject to the type of your garage door lift system. Due to the springs, the door weight balances and assist in smoothly opening or shutting the door. The first indication that your spring is broken is that it’s very hard to open or shut the door.

It can happen anytime that your spring can be broken. There could be any reason for breaking the spring normally due to wear and tear. Another reason for the prematurely broken spring is that the garage door is not weighted properly compared to the door’s weight. Finally, one of the major reasons is if it has developed rust or been compromised in some other way.
