Broken Garage Door Spring? What to Check Before You Call
A loud bang from your garage is often a broken torsion spring. Our Toronto tech explains what to look for and why you should never try to lift the door.
What the neighbours say.
"Tech rang the doorbell at the 33-minute mark on a Sunday. Both torsion springs swapped, door rebalanced, opener re-paired. Quote on the driveway, invoice matched. I'm keeping the magnet on the fridge."
"Three other companies sent me to voicemail. 24/7 Garage Door In-Trust picked up, explained the $29 service call, diagnosed the spring system on-site, and the invoice matched the quote. No upsell, no surprise."
"Door wouldn't latch and I had a 7am meeting. They re-aligned the sensors, snugged a loose track bolt, and were back in the van in 22 minutes. Booking them for the new install in May."
