A broken spring is the #1 reason a garage door won't open in Tuscaloosa. Springs are under enormous tension, so this is one job to always leave to a pro.

In Tuscaloosa, the weather is often part of the story behind a broken garage door spring. Months of heat and humidity mean humidity corrodes hardware and falling limbs dent panels across Tuscaloosa County — exactly the kind of wear a local tech knows to check first.

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 Tuscaloosa 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.
