More about this in Dickinson

A dented garage door spring has a crimp or flat spot in the coil that changes how the metal flexes under tension, and that spot is where the spring is most likely to crack or snap first. A dent doesn't always stop the door from working today, but it's a weak point that gets worse every time the door cycles.

What a dented garage door spring means for the door

A torsion spring is built to twist and untwist thousands of times holding the door's full weight in balance. A dent changes the coil's spacing at that one point, concentrating stress there instead of spreading it evenly down the length of the spring. That's the spot that eventually gives way, usually without much warning beyond a loud bang and a door that suddenly won't lift.
