Garage Door Broken Spring

The Most Critical Component: Safety and Expertise You Can Trust The springs on your garage door are under immense tension—they do the heavy lifting, not your garage door opener. When a spring breaks, your door becomes too heavy to operate and poses a serious safety risk.

Never attempt to fix or replace a garage door spring yourself. This is the most dangerous repair on a garage door system and requires specialized training and tools.

If your spring is broken, call us immediately for urgent, safe replacement.

Recognizing a Broken Garage Door Spring How do you know if your garage door spring has snapped?

Loud Noise: You hear a sharp, metallic "BANG!" that sounds like a gunshot coming from your garage. This is the sound of the coiled metal releasing tension.

Door Won’t Lift: Your garage door opener may run, but the door only moves a few inches or won't move at all.

Heavy Door: If you attempt to lift the door manually, it feels incredibly heavy (it should feel light when balanced).

>Visible Gap: On a torsion spring system (a long tube over the door), you will see a visible gap of an inch or two in the coiled metal.

We Repair Both We specialize in the safe replacement of both primary types of garage door springs:

1. Torsion Springs Location: Mounted horizontally on a metal shaft directly above the center of the door opening. Why We Upgrade: We replace these with high-cycle, oil-tempered springs designed to withstand significantly more open/close cycles than standard builder-grade springs.

2. Extension Springs Location: Located above the horizontal tracks on either side of the door.

Why We Upgrade: We replace these in pairs (even if only one is broken) to ensure balanced tension, and we always install safety cables to prevent a snapped spring from flying across the garage.

Our Spring Replacement Process We don't just replace the broken part; we restore the integrity of your entire system.

Immediate Safety Check: We secure the door and ensure the power to the opener is disconnected before starting the repair.

Professional Replacement: We safely unwind and remove the broken spring(s) and install new, high-quality replacement springs.

Expert Tensioning: We use professional tools to properly wind the new springs, applying the exact tension required for your door's weight.

Precision Balancing: We test and adjust the tension until the door is perfectly balanced, making it feel lightweight and effortless to lift manually.

Full System Lubrication: We lubricate the newly installed spring and all moving hardware (rollers, hinges, and bearings) for quiet, smooth operation.

Why High-Quality Springs Matter When you choose us, you are investing in durability. Standard springs are often rated for 10,000 cycles. Our premium springs are rated for 20,000+ cycles, meaning you enjoy twice the lifespan and less worry about future repairs.
