They can properly remove and replace this spring, as they have the right tools to safely deal with these springs, which are under tension and help the door operate properly.
There are several potential causes for why your garage door developed a crack in the top section. Regardless of the reason, garage door repairs are in order to not only fix the garage door but also make necessary adjustments to prevent the incident from happening in the future. Some causes of cracks include:
- Incorrect positioning of the strut on the door
- Weaker springs than specified for the type and size of door causing the opener to apply too much force to the top section
- Incorrect slope for the opener
- Opener arm coming into contact with the strut when the door is opening
- Top roller and operator bracket pivot point position is not correct
