A broken spring is the #1 reason a garage door won't open in Hoover. Springs are under enormous tension, so this is one job to always leave to a pro.

Living with Hoover's heat and humidity means garage doors work harder here than most people realize. storms surge opener boards and falling limbs dent panels both feed straight into a broken garage door spring, which is why our Jefferson County techs treat the cause, not just the door in front of them.

What might be wrong

Common causes when your broken garage door spring

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

Normal wear
Springs are rated for a set number of cycles and eventually fatigue and snap — often in cold weather.
Rust and skipped maintenance
Corrosion and dryness shorten spring life dramatically.
An undersized spring
A spring not matched to the door's weight wears out fast.
How we fix it

Fixed fast by a local Hoover pro

We confirm the spring type and size, replace it (in pairs when both are worn), wind it to spec, and safety-test the balance.
