Garage door springs do break. These springs are rated for a certain amount of uses. Once that number has been reached, they could break at any time. Unfortunately, it usually happens in the middle of the night and most people think someone is trying to break into the house. Its not until they try to lift the garage door that they realize that something else is wrong. In most cases, the door will go up about a foot, then come down again. This is the time to call a Professional. There are many different gauges, diameters, and lengths of torsion springs. It is always better to have a licensed trained professional come to your home to check the appropriate spring for your garage door. Ask the tech if they could upgrade the gauge of spring. This will lengthen the life of your garage door spring.
