🔧 A DIY project that could have ended very differently.
This homeowner was replacing rollers and hinges and accidentally removed the bottom brackets without releasing the spring tension on BOTH sides of the garage door. That’s an extremely dangerous situation that can cause serious injury.
Thankfully, no one was hurt.
We were able to carefully and safely release the tension, correct the issue, and get the door back up and running properly. The homeowner was incredibly appreciative that we came out on a Sunday—and as always, there were no extra weekend charges.
Garage doors may look simple, but the springs and cables store a tremendous amount of energy. If you’re unsure about a repair, it’s always better to ask before risking injury.
