Torsion springs store a considerable amount of energy. Many have been injured working on garage springs. I'm all for DIY, but in this case, call in a pro. I would also disconnect your opener and open the door manually and as infrequently as possible until the door is fixed.
Garage door
Hey folks,
Couple days ago the garage door was closing and I heard a loud *snap*.
I looked around and didn't notice anything unusual, but then upon looking on the left side, I saw that a cable was very slack now.
The door still opens, but seems to labor quite a bit now.
In doing a little homework, I'm reading things about torsion bars....etc. Is this something I can fix myself? I attached a few photos.
Thanks all for any advice. :thumbsup:
