Why You Should Never Replace Your Own Garage Door Springs

3 reasons you are better off calling Dynamic Garage Door for your repair.

Has your garage door opener started straining to raise and lower the door? Do the springs make horrible noises? Do they appear visibly damaged or even broken?

You definitely do not have a DIY garage door repair ahead of you. Here’s why you should not attempt to replace your own garage door springs.

It’s Dangerous

The number one reason to avoid replacing your own garage door springs is that this particular repair is actually pretty dangerous for anyone but a trained professional to attempt. Even when broken, garage door springs are under considerable tension. If they are not removed carefully, using the proper tools, they can easily release this tension in way that puts you directly in harm’s way. People have had their fingers broken when uncoiling springs seized their tools, and broken spring pieces can also cause lacerations or property damage.

It’s Annoying

Another reason you shouldn’t try to replace your own garage door springs is that it can be a real hassle to find the right replacement springs. A variety of different measurements must be taken in order to make sure you’re getting the right size. If you end up having to order your springs online, you risk even more delays and hassles if the springs arrive and don’t fit.

It’s Difficult

The final reason that you should leave your garage door spring replacement to the professionals is that it is difficult to do this repair correctly—and there could be a lot at stake if you mess up. The new springs must be carefully calibrated to ensure that the movement of the door will be smooth and even. If you don’t get the calibration right, jerky movement could actually damage your door and/or the opener tracks. If you have a high-end door and it gets ruined by improperly installed springs, this could end up costing you hundreds of dollars.
