Why You Should Never DIY Garage Door Spring Repair

Garage door springs only have so many cycles in them — the number of times a garage door can go up and down in a spring’s lifetime. When a spring breaks, you’ll hear a loud pop, almost like a firecracker. Hopefully no one was near the spring when it snapped and the spring doesn’t damage any property like your car.
