A garage door that feels too heavy in White Plains 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. White Plains's freezing winters wears doors down — snow & ice jam tracks — and we get a clear run of these calls every January 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.
