THE LOUD BANG FROM THE GARAGE? THAT WAS YOUR SPRING
When a torsion spring breaks it usually announces itself — a single loud bang from the garage, and after that the opener strains, the door lifts a few inches and stops, or nothing moves at all. The spring carries almost the entire weight of the door; without it, a typical double door in Mission Viejo is 150–250 pounds of dead load that neither you nor the opener should be lifting.
Many Mission Viejo homes still run the original builder-grade springs rated for about 10,000 cycles. At four door cycles a day, that rating runs out in roughly seven years — which is why springs in the city's older tracts around Casta del Sol, La Paz and Marguerite fail so predictably. We stock the common sizes on every truck and finish the vast majority of spring jobs in a single visit.
Please don't attempt this one yourself. A wound torsion spring stores enough energy to cause serious injury the moment a winding cone slips. It is the one garage door repair that is genuinely dangerous without the right bars, technique and replacement parts.
