Lifting A Broken Garage Door

But like other things some parts of the garage door would eventually snap out and break due to constant usage and may require a replacement.

Lifting a broken garage door.

A garage door should not be opened until the spring is repaired. A garage door that has a broken spring has nothing to support its weight. First do not try to lift the door by hand or using the opener as you can hurt yourself lifting a heavy garage door by hand and burn out the opener using it to try to open a door with a broken spring. The size of the door and the type of spring system determines how difficult opening the door will be.

The spring is the most common part to break. Garage door cables break for a myriad of reasons but most of all because they. Now lifting a garage door with a broken spring is difficult. However it is just as dangerous and challenging to fix when the cables snap too.

It is responsible for supporting and lifting the heavy weight of the door making it easier to be opened manually. If anything doing it yourself can hurt your back. Replacing garage door springs is not a do it yourself project replacement requires special tools and techniques to prevent injury. So you have a lot more to worry about than just a broken garage door.

Doors in this condition can be difficult to lift because the garage door opener loses the support springs provide in lifting and lowering the door.
