More about this in Brookshire

A dented garage door torsion spring has taken a direct impact to the coil — a bracket that worked loose and let it shift into contact with something, or a stored item overhead that struck it. Unlike a spring that simply breaks from cycle wear, a dented coil creates a stress point that concentrates every bit of tension right at the dent. There is a wider write-up on garage door service Brookshire that covers the other faults too.

Call (346) 220-4724 to have a dented coil checked before it fails under load.

Why a dented garage door torsion spring can't be straightened back

A torsion spring is wound under exact, calculated tension, and a dent in the coil creates a weak point that every cycle of the door concentrates stress against. A dented garage door torsion spring doesn't get bent back into shape and reused — the weak point only gets worse the longer it stays under tension.
