More about this in Bellaire
A dented garage door torsion spring is a coil on the overhead shaft that's been knocked out of round, usually from something striking it during storage work near the ceiling of the garage, rather than the spring simply reaching the end of its normal life. A kink in a torsion coil changes how it twists under load. This page is one part of a larger guide to garage door repair Bellaire.
Call (346) 220-4724 and get the spring looked at before running the door on it again.
Why a dented garage door torsion spring can fail without warning
A torsion spring that's aging normally tends to show some resistance change before it goes. A dented garage door torsion spring skips that warning sign entirely, since the kink concentrates stress at one point on the shaft, which is exactly where a coil under full twist tension is most likely to let go suddenly.
A dented garage door torsion spring and its matched pair
Most torsion setups run two springs on the same shaft, and an impact strong enough to dent one has often reached the other as well, even if the second spring shows less obvious damage. Dented garage door torsion spring calls are worth treating as a pair inspection, not a single-spring check. It is worth comparing this with the page on fix a dented garage door spring in Bellaire.
A dented garage door torsion spring near stored items
Garages used for overhead storage — ladders, holiday bins, sports equipment hung near the ceiling — are the most common source of this kind of impact, since the torsion shaft sits right where taller stored items get moved around.
