Is it safe to repair a garage door by yourself?

Even you have strong mechanical ability, to fix a garage door is still a dangerous job and it could cause life injury. There are two main reasons:

1. After garage door springs get broken, your door will drop down along the vertical track instead of being held on horizontal track. Your feet may get crushed.

2. Even if your door springs are still functional, the weight of garage door is suspended by springs. The springs are strong enough to support the weight of your door. If the springs are suddenly released when they have high tension, they will snap with enough force to wound or kill.

So, if you aren’t experienced, I’d recommend hiring an experienced technician to solve the issue for you
