Living with Salt Lake City's freezing cold and heavy snow means garage doors work harder here than most people realize. ice freezes doors shut and high-altitude sun cracks seals both feed straight into a broken garage door spring, which is why our Salt Lake County techs treat the cause, not just the door in front of them.

What might be wrong

Common causes when your broken garage door spring

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

Normal wear

Springs are rated for a set number of cycles and eventually fatigue and snap — often in cold weather.

Rust and skipped maintenance

Corrosion and dryness shorten spring life dramatically.

An undersized spring

A spring not matched to the door's weight wears out fast.

How we fix it

Fixed fast by a local Salt Lake City pro

We confirm the spring type and size, replace it (in pairs when both are worn), wind it to spec, and safety-test the balance.
