Garage Door Springs Hicksville
If, upon inspection, you find that your spring is broken, cease using the door immediately, both by opener and by hand, even if it still opens automatically. Continuing to use the opener with a broken spring, even though it may work, will significantly increase the load on the motor and may cause it to burn out, greatly inflating repair costs.
Here at LI Garage Doors Hicksville, springs are replaced in sets. This is more a pre-cautionary measure. When your first spring breaks, all the load is thrust on the remaining spring, applying significantly more tension then the spring is use to and greatly weakening the steel coil. Once your broken spring is replaced, the surviving spring (in its weakened state) has to work as efficient as the new spring, and in an effort to keep up, breaks in the process.
