A garage door that slams shut in New Rochelle has lost the spring tension that controls its descent — a serious safety issue we treat as urgent.

Why does this keep happening in New Rochelle? A lot of it comes down to the local climate. Freezing winters takes its toll — cold snaps brittle springs, and road salt corrodes hardware — so a garage door slams shut is one of the more common calls our New Rochelle crews run.

What might be wrong

Common causes when your garage door slams shut

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

A broken spring
With no counterbalance, the full weight of the door drops fast.
A snapped cable
A failed cable removes the control on one or both sides.
A failed opener or worn pulley
Worn lift hardware can let the door fall.
How we fix it

Fixed fast by a local New Rochelle pro

We secure the door, replace the spring or cable, and confirm a controlled, balanced close before we leave.

Broken Garage Door Spring

Snapped Garage Door Cable
