🚨 DID YOU KNOW? 🚨
That garage door spring above your head could be storing enough energy to cause serious injury if something goes wrong.
😳 STRETCH SPRINGS CAN BE DANGEROUS.
Extension—or “stretch”—springs are designed to stretch and store energy every time your garage door operates. If a spring breaks, a cable comes loose, or a component fails, that stored energy can cause parts to snap, whip, or fly unexpectedly.
⚠️ And here’s something every homeowner should know:
If your garage door has stretch springs, they should have proper safety cables running through the springs.
Those cables are designed to help contain a broken spring and prevent it from becoming a dangerous projectile.
🔴 NO safety cables?
🔴 Rusty or damaged springs?
🔴 Springs that look stretched, loose, or out of place?
👉 DON’T TOUCH THEM.
Garage door springs are NOT a DIY repair. They are under tremendous tension, and attempting to adjust, remove, or replace them without the proper tools and training can result in serious injury.
