A lake in Pembroke PinesPembroke Pines is a city in southwest Broward County. The Census Bureau counted 171,178 residents at the April 1, 2020 census, and its July 1, 2025 population estimate (Vintage 2025) is 176,714. For 2020-2024, the city had 64,875 households, a 69.6% owner-occupied housing unit rate and a median owner-occupied home value of $439,500.
The city's own history says it began as two small subdivisions platted in 1954 on former dairy-farm land between North Perry Field and the Florida Turnpike. It incorporated to avoid annexation, led by Dr. Walter Seth Kipnis, Estelle Kipnis and the Pembroke Pines Civic Association. In 1960, 425 votes cast in a resident's carport turned the Village into the City.
The city's Housing Element support document counted 56,962 housing units in 2002, 64% single-family, 35% multifamily and 1% mobile homes. Most were built in the 1990s (27,735) and 1980s (14,246), per the 2000 Census.
Common problems
- Broken spring. You may hear a loud bang from the garage, then find the door too heavy to lift. Springs hold the door's weight under high tension, so replacing them is a job for a trained technician.
- Snapped or loose cable. The door hangs crooked or one side drops. Cables work with the springs, so they're often damaged together.
- Door off its track. Rollers come out of the track after a bump or a worn part, and the door jams partway.
- Opener problems. The motor hums but the door doesn't move, the remote stops working, or the door reverses before it closes. Dirty or misaligned safety sensors are a common cause.
- Storm damage. Strong wind can bend panels, push a door out of its tracks or leave it unable to close securely.

Questions people ask
Is it safe to open a door with a broken spring?
It's best not to. Without a working spring, the door's full weight rests on the opener or on you, and it can drop suddenly. Leave it closed if you can and call for help.
Should both springs be replaced?
Doors with two springs usually have springs of the same age, so when one breaks the other may not be far behind. Your provider can tell you whether replacing both makes sense.
