Broken spring? broken cable? the opener stopped working ? do I need to get a new door ??? in most cases NO

In this post, I will break down the parts that usually malfunction lets start with  the most obvious,

whether its a broken spring, broken cables or a broken opener

Broken garage door spring :

the most common system in Canada is the torsion system that in most cases is situated just above the garage door, very simple to spot it is the 2 ft coil that should be intact if it is broken in two pieces and the door won’t travel up or heard a big bang most like that your garage door spring is broken

Broken garage door cables :

Another crucial part in a garage door is the cable, linking between the garage door spring and the door which can weigh up to 900 lb,

and in a combined make it look weightless. however, if there’s an object obstructing the side tracks it can cause an unbalanced door

when a door jams mid-air or tangled  up around the drums, it is the cables

Broken garage door opener :

The most advanced and “high tech” component in the garage door mechanism on the other hand  really easy to neglect.

moreover easier to break when other components are failing.

a faulty opener will hum but the travel bracket will not move.

on the other hand it can be visible such as a broken sprocket, in some case when the unit is older than 20 years worth

some of the problems can be done by someone handy at their own risk,  we always using a professional.
