General information only

The guides and advice on this website are general information about garage doors. They are not a diagnosis of your door, and they are not a substitute for having someone competent look at it. Every door is different, and the right answer depends on the door in front of you.

Safety warning

Garage door springs and lift cables hold a large amount of stored energy, even when the door is closed. Attempting to adjust, wind, release or replace springs, cables or bottom brackets can cause serious injury or death. Where our guides describe those parts, they do so to help you understand what has failed and to explain why it is not a do it yourself repair. Do not attempt that work yourself.

If a spring has broken or a cable has failed, do not operate the door and do not attempt to lift it by hand.
