Need it now? Call usA garage door that feels too heavy in Minneapolis almost always means the springs are worn or broken. A properly balanced door should lift with one hand.
Why does this keep happening in Minneapolis? A lot of it comes down to the local climate. Sub-zero cold takes its toll — deep cold snaps springs, and road salt corrodes hardware — so a garage door feels too heavy is one of the more common calls our Minneapolis crews run.
