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

Why does this keep happening in Kent? A lot of it comes down to the local climate. Constant damp and cold mornings takes its toll — damp air rusts springs & cables, and moisture warps wood & seals — so a broken garage door spring is one of the more common calls our Kent crews run.

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 Kent 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.
