A loud bang from the garage in New Orleans 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 Orleans's heat and Gulf humidity wears doors down — heat overworks openers — and we get a clear run of these calls every August heat wave. A local pro fixes the underlying cause and backs it with a one-year warranty.
