The largest moving part in many modern homes is the garage door. Because of its size and weight, it can come crashing down on a family member, pet, car or other belongings, causing personal injury, damage or even death. It is therefore very important to ensure both the door and opener are safe and operating correctly.

A garage door torsion spring is used to move the door up and down and can pose a safety hazard if it is either faulty or not fitted properly. If one or both of the springs are not working correctly, the garage door may not open all the way or even at all. As you can imagine, this can be very frustrating especially if your car is inside with a door that won't open.

If you already have an overhead garage door opener fitted and it is more than ten to fifteen years old, there is a strong possibility that it may pose a safety hazard.
