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

There's a local angle to a loud bang from the garage in Charleston: the area's heat and humidity is hard on garage doors — humidity corrodes hardware, and storms surge opener boards. Our Charleston techs see these failures spike around every summer storm, so they track down the real cause instead of masking the symptom.
