More about this in Cypress

A broken garage door extension spring leaves one side of the door heavier than the other, so the door tends to open crooked or won't lift past a few inches before the opener strains and stops. Unlike a torsion break, an extension spring failure is often quieter — more of a sudden sag than a bang. The overview of Cypress garage door repair is the place to start if the problem is unclear.

Call (346) 220-4724 before forcing a door that's hanging unevenly.

Why a broken garage door extension spring lifts one side more than the other

Extension springs work independently on each side of the door rather than sharing a single shaft, so a broken garage door extension spring leaves only one side supported, and the door visibly tilts or drags on the way up until the second spring is replaced too.
