A garage door that feels too heavy in Kansas City almost always means the springs are worn or broken. A properly balanced door should lift with one hand.

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

What might be wrong
