A broken garage door spring is one of the most common emergency calls we receive — and one of the most important to handle correctly. Springs are under hundreds of pounds of tension, and attempting a DIY repair without proper tools and training is genuinely dangerous.
How to Know Your Spring Is Broken
- Loud bang from the garage (a snapping spring sounds like a gunshot)
- Door won't open at all, or is extremely heavy to lift manually
- Visible gap in the coil of the torsion spring above the door
- Door opens only a few inches and stops (opener safety feature)
What We Do
Our technicians carry all standard spring sizes on every truck. We remove the broken spring, install the correct replacement spring (sized to your door's weight), and test the door for proper balance before leaving. Most broken spring repairs take 1–2 hours.
