A loud bang from the garage in New Bedford is the unmistakable sound of a torsion spring snapping. The door will likely feel very heavy or refuse to open.

A loud bang from the garage rarely happens in a vacuum. New Bedford's freezing winters wears doors down — snow & ice jam tracks — and we get a clear run of these calls every January cold snap. A local pro fixes the underlying cause and backs it with a one-year warranty.
