A loud bang from the garage in Westland 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 Westland: the area's freezing winters is hard on garage doors — cold snaps brittle springs, and summer storms surge openers. Our Westland techs see these failures spike around every January cold snap, so they track down the real cause instead of masking the symptom.
