Yesterday, the main spring on our garage door broke spectacularly in two after the fuzzy upstairs neighbor closed it. We had just put both flats' cars away.

This has happened at least once since we bought the place, but not recently. The neighbor will be calling today to schedule an appointment - hopefully getting it fixed before the weekend when we would normally do our shopping. Of course this puts crimps in lots of other plans, including theirs to go to Crown this weekend.

From what little I remember, it's a relatively quick fix, so here's hoping.

ETA: apparently fixed today.

Just happened to us and it’s a quick fix. We were able to pull the emergency release cord (if you have a garage door opener) and then S and I were able to lift the door up so I could get my car out. Maybe you guys are able to do that?

There's no release cord as it's not a powered door.

Dang it! Booooo. Was hoping you could get it open. :(

Fortunately it got fixed today.

Yay!!

Yay, fixed! There is nothing like not being able to access the car to make one suddenly want to use it.
