How do I know if my garage door springs need replacing?

If your garage door feels unusually heavy, struggles to open, or won’t stay open on its own, the springs may be worn out or broken. You might also hear a loud snapping noise if a spring has broken completely. Since garage door springs are essential for counterbalancing the weight of the door, delaying repairs can strain other components, leading to further damage. It’s best to have a professional replace the springs to restore smooth and safe operation.
