More about this in Meadows Place

A dented garage door spring — coils gouged or flattened from something falling against the torsion bar, or a stored item pressing on it for too long — isn't something that gets bent back into shape. A spring under tension that's been physically deformed is a spring that's weakened at exactly the point it's damaged, and it needs to come off. Everything here sits under the wider guide to Meadows Place garage door company.

Call (346) 220-4724 rather than trying to straighten it out.

Why a dented garage door spring is a replacement, not a fix

Coils under tension that have been physically dented or gouged are weakened at that exact point, and the spring can fail there under load even if the rest of it still looks intact. On homes in Meadows Place, where the median house was built in 1979 and a lot of springs are already near the end of their rated life, a dented garage door spring is rarely worth trying to save.

Garage door spring that has a dent in Meadows Place, TX: replacing a torsion spring

The first houses in Meadows Place went up in 1968 under the Ayrshire Corporation, and garages that have been in use that long tend to accumulate storage — bikes, ladders, boxes — some of which ends up leaning against or falling onto the spring assembly overhead. That's a common, avoidable cause of a dented garage door spring.

Impact that's strong enough to dent a spring can also affect nearby cables, the bearing plate, or the torsion bar itself, so a proper repair checks the whole assembly rather than just the spring.

Preventing a dented garage door spring going forward

Keeping stored items clear of the torsion bar above the door, and mounting shelving away from that space, is the simplest way to avoid this kind of damage happening again after a replacement.
