A garage door that slams shut in Erie has lost the spring tension that controls its descent — a serious safety issue we treat as urgent.

In Erie, the weather is often part of the story behind a garage door slams shut. Months of freezing winters mean cold snaps brittle springs and road salt corrodes hardware across Erie County — exactly the kind of wear a local tech knows to check first.

What might be wrong

Common causes when your garage door slams shut

Here's what our local techs check first — and what each one usually means.

A broken spring
With no counterbalance, the full weight of the door drops fast.
A snapped cable
A failed cable removes the control on one or both sides.
A failed opener or worn pulley
Worn lift hardware can let the door fall.
How we fix it
