A loud bang from the garage in Anchorage is the unmistakable sound of a torsion spring snapping. The door will likely feel very heavy or refuse to open.

In Anchorage, the weather is often part of the story behind a loud bang from the garage. Months of sub-zero cold mean deep cold snaps springs and road salt corrodes hardware across Anchorage Municipality — exactly the kind of wear a local tech knows to check first.
