A comprehensive reference to safety, maintenance, and long-lasting solutions for garage door spring emergencies

The garage is an essential component of safety, convenience, and lifestyle in today's contemporary urban environment; it is more than just a place to keep cars. The spring system is a garage door's primary power source. It is this spring that balances the door and helps the door to move up and down easily in coordination with the automatic motor.

But unfortunately, when this spring breaks, the whole system goes out of order. On the one hand, there is a security risk, on the other hand, daily life comes to a standstill.

In this blog, we will discuss...

• The cause of the garage door breakage
• The Impact and Risks
• Why it's dangerous to DIY
• Emergency Solution Steps
• Advantages of professional services
• Quick solutions in Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam

Chapter 1: How does a garage door spring work?

1.1 Type of spring system

Two types of springs are commonly used in garage doors -

The Torsion Spring
At the top of the door is attached a long bar. When the door rises and falls, the spring ripens and stores energy.

The extension spring
There are doors on both sides of the road. The door expands when rising and shrinks when descending.

1.2 Why is spring so important?

• The average weight of the door can be up to 80-150 kg.
• It will be impossible to lift the door without a spring.
• There is a risk of damage to the motor if the balance is lost.
• Broken spring = instantaneous shutdown of the system.

Chapter 2: What Causes a Garage Door Spring Break

2.1 Natural corrosion

Spring has a specific lifecycle. On average, a spring works up to 10,000 cycles (once up and down = 1 cycle).

2.2 Rust or rust

If it is rusted in the spring in moisture, water or moist air, it quickly weakens.

2.3 Additional pressure

If the wrong size spring is used, it cannot handle the weight of the door properly.

2.4 Lack of maintenance

Spring can be broken due to not oiling in time, not lubricating or not checking the safety.

Chapter 3: Signs of breakage

• Suddenly I heard a loud sound.
• The door was half-opened.
• The door slid to one side.
• The motor works, but the door does not rise.
• Gaps or broken parts are visible around the spring.

Chapter 4: Why is it so dangerous?

Many people try to save money. But it's important to remember:

• A spring is a high-tension device.
• Accidents and even serious injuries can happen.
• A car or person can be injured when a door falls on the wrong installation.

Don't try it without an experienced technician.
