What to do next
Broken Garage Door
Off-track doors, broken springs, and opener failures are different jobs. Hurricane-rated doors in Miami-Dade may need specific replacement products. Ask about permits for a full door replacement.
A garage door under spring tension can cause serious injury. Do not attempt to rewind springs.
What usually happens next
- Disconnect the opener only if you know how and the door is stable.
- Do not try to repair torsion springs yourself.
- Call a garage-door company and describe whether the door will not open, will not close, or is off the track.
When professional help is the next step: Call if the door is off track, the spring is broken, or you cannot secure the opening.
