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

There's a local angle to a garage door slams shut in Greenwich: the area's freezing winters is hard on garage doors — cold snaps brittle springs, and snow & ice jam tracks. Our Greenwich techs see these failures spike around every January cold snap, so they track down the real cause instead of masking the symptom.

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

Fixed fast by a local Greenwich pro

We secure the door, replace the spring or cable, and confirm a controlled, balanced close before we leave.
