More about this in Old River-Winfree

A dented garage door spring has taken a hit or a hard rub somewhere along its coil, and that dent is a weak point the spring will keep flexing against every time the door opens or closes. It doesn't heal or work itself out — a dented coil either binds against the shaft, throws the door off balance, or eventually snaps at the dent.

What causes a dented garage door spring in the first place

Garage door spring that has a dent in Old River-Winfree, TX: testing the door balance

A dented garage door spring usually comes from something striking the coil directly — a dropped tool during a past repair, an object stored too close to the shaft, or corrosion pitting that's eaten into the metal until it looks dented rather than rusted. Any of those weakens the wire at that exact point, and a spring under daily tension doesn't fail evenly — it fails where it's already been compromised.

A dented garage door spring on an original 1990s install

The median home in Old River-Winfree was built in 1990, and the town has taken on very little new construction since it incorporated in 1979 and its population leveled off after the 2000 census. That means a lot of springs in town are original to a build from three decades ago, and a spring that old carries more risk from a dent than a newer one would — the metal's already fatigued from years of cycling, so a dent that a fresh spring might shrug off is enough to push an older one toward failure. Some doors with this problem actually have fix a dented garage door panel in Old River-Winfree instead.
