Broken Garage Door Spring

If the spring on your garage door is broken, it is not always wise to lift it manually. If there is only one torsion spring, it can be much more difficult to get it open with a broken spring. These types of door are usually very heavy. They can weigh up to 300pounds so it would be quite disastrous if these types of doors fall on someone while they are trying to lift it.
