A garage door that feels too heavy in West Valley City almost always means the springs are worn or broken. A properly balanced door should lift with one hand.

A garage door feels too heavy rarely happens in a vacuum. West Valley City's freezing cold and heavy snow wears doors down — ice freezes doors shut — and we get a clear run of these calls every winter cold snap. A local pro fixes the underlying cause and backs it with a one-year warranty.

What might be wrong

Common causes when your garage door feels too heavy

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

Worn or broken springs
Tired springs no longer counterbalance the door's weight.
An undersized spring
A spring not matched to the door makes it heavy and wears fast.
Binding rollers or tracks
Friction adds to the felt weight.
How we fix it

Fixed fast by a local West Valley City pro

We measure the door, install the correct springs, service the rollers, and balance-test so it lifts effortlessly.
