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

Living with Shreveport's heat and Gulf humidity means garage doors work harder here than most people realize. heat overworks openers and storm season batters doors both feed straight into a garage door slams shut, which is why our Caddo Parish techs treat the cause, not just the door in front of them.

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 Shreveport pro

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