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

There's a local angle to a loud bang from the garage in Providence: the area's freezing winters is hard on garage doors — cold snaps brittle springs, and snow & ice jam tracks. Our Providence techs see these failures spike around every January cold snap, so they track down the real cause instead of masking the symptom.
