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

In Hillsboro, the weather is often part of the story behind a loud bang from the garage. Months of constant damp and cold mornings mean damp air rusts springs & cables and moisture warps wood & seals across Washington County — exactly the kind of wear a local tech knows to check first.
