More about this in Cumings
A broken garage door extension spring lets go along the horizontal track above the door rather than overhead like a torsion spring, and the door usually drops hard on one side or won't lift at all once it happens. It's the less common setup on newer doors but still shows up on older sections of Cumings. This page is one part of a larger guide to same day garage door repair Cumings.
Call (346) 220-4724 and leave the door down until someone has looked at the cable.
Why a broken garage door extension spring drops the door unevenly
Extension springs stretch along the track rather than twisting overhead, and when one lets go the door loses lift on that side only, which is why a broken garage door extension spring so often shows up as a door hanging crooked rather than one that's simply stuck.
Broken garage door extension spring and the safety cable question
A lot of older extension-spring installations went in without a containment cable running through the spring's center, and a broken garage door extension spring without that cable can snap free with real force — checking for one is part of any extension spring call.
