Signs to watch for
Broken spring symptoms usually show up fast.
The door stops before opening
A failed spring can keep the door from lifting past the first few inches.
The system looks uneven
If the door sits crooked or binds, the hardware needs to be checked together.
The opener keeps working harder
Trying to force the door can add strain to the opener and create more repair work.
