A broken garage door spring is the most common — and most dangerous — garage door problem. Springs are under extreme tension and should never be replaced without professional training and proper tools. Our insured technicians handle spring replacements safely, quickly, and at a fair price.
Types of Springs We Replace
Torsion Springs — mounted horizontally above the door opening, these are the most common type in modern homes. When a torsion spring breaks, the door typically won't move at all.
Extension Springs — mounted on either side of the door track, these stretch and contract as the door moves. A broken extension spring can cause the door to hang unevenly or become very heavy.
Signs Your Spring Needs Replacement
- Door won't open or is extremely heavy to lift manually
- Loud bang from the garage (a snapping spring makes a loud pop)
- Gap visible in the torsion spring coil
- Door opens unevenly or one side is higher than the other
