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

Living with Newark's freezing winters means garage doors work harder here than most people realize. snow & ice jam tracks and road salt corrodes hardware both feed straight into a loud bang from the garage, which is why our New Castle County techs treat the cause, not just the door in front of them.
