When you call the professionals to talk about issues with your garage door, it can help to know what signs to look for when explaining the issue. If the issue is a broken garage door spring, there are several signs that could be present that points to this being the issue. These signs include:

• • The cables of the garage door appear to be broken. The cables may be laying on the ground or flying every which way, and it is easy to see these being broken when you look at the garage door.
• • The door will start to go up, then stops. You may find that the door only raises about six inches before it stops and then goes back down or stays six inches off the ground.
• • You heard a loud bank in the garage, which is often what the spring sounds like when it breaks.
• The top section of the actual garage door is actually bent. When the door tries to open, it is not uncommon for the door to become bent on the top, which can affect it opening in the future and result in needing a new door as well as a spring.
• • The spring may be in need of professional repair if you notice that the door tends to jerk when going up and down.
