Garage Door Heavy To Open Manually

I was thinking about taking a couple steel rods and adjust the torsion spring myself.

Garage door heavy to open manually.

All electronic or automatic garage doors have a bypass that will allow you to open it manually. That s a problem that can worsen gradually over time and is much less obvious than a broken spring. I had a company came and replaced the spring once years ago and the guy must not have wound it to the correct amount. Failing or broken spring s is the most common cause of a door being almost impossible to open manually but other factures can cause this as well.

This becomes necessary when there is a power failure or for some reason you lose your remote. Close your garage door. If the door is heavier it is highly recommended to call a garage door company before additional damage will occur. Garage torsion springs are vital aspects of the garage opening system as no other part of the mechanism is strong enough to lift the heavy door.

Sometimes though a door that s hard to operate is the result of springs that no longer hold the proper tension. When a torsion spring suffers a failure or breakage you may notice that your garage feels much weightier to lift or it simply won t open at all.
