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

There's a local angle to a garage door feels too heavy in Lakewood: the area's freezing winters is hard on garage doors — cold snaps brittle springs, and snow & ice jam tracks. Our Lakewood 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 feels too heavy

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

Worn or broken springs
Tired springs no longer counterbalance the door's weight.
An undersized spring
A spring not matched to the door makes it heavy and wears fast.
Binding rollers or tracks
Friction adds to the felt weight.
How we fix it

Fixed fast by a local Lakewood pro

We measure the door, install the correct springs, service the rollers, and balance-test so it lifts effortlessly.
