Know the signs
How to tell a spring is broken
Springs almost always break without warning - but they leave clear signs behind:
- A loud bang from the garage, like something snapped
- The door feels impossibly heavy when you lift it by hand
- The door only opens a few inches, or the opener strains and stops
- A visible gap in the spring coil above the door
- The door hangs crooked or one cable looks loose
- The door slams shut faster than it used to
Why you shouldn't force it
A door with a broken spring can weigh several hundred pounds. Running the opener can burn out the motor, bend the top panel or pull the door off its cables - turning a straightforward spring job into a bigger repair. Springs are under extreme tension and are not a DIY part. Leave the door alone and call us.
The repair
What a spring repair includes
Every door is different, so we measure and weigh your door before fitting new springs - the right spring is matched to the door, not just the same size as the old one. Most spring repairs are done the same day you call, in a single visit.
- Torsion and extension spring repair, matched to your door's weight
- Both springs repaired together for even wear and balanced lifting
- High-cycle spring options that last years longer than standard springs
- Cables, drums, rollers and bearings inspected while the system is apart
- Full balance test and safety check before we leave

Call to claimSpring basics
Torsion vs. extension springs
Torsion springs sit on a steel shaft above the door and lift by twisting. They are the standard on most modern doors - smoother, safer and longer-lasting. Extension springs run along the horizontal tracks on each side of the door and stretch to lift. We repair both types.
If one spring breaks on a two-spring door, the second is usually close behind - they were fitted together and have lifted the same weight the same number of times. Repairing both at once costs less than a second service call and keeps the door lifting evenly.

Common questions
How long does a spring repair take?
Most spring repairs are finished in a single visit, often within about an hour of the technician arriving. We carry common spring sizes on the truck, and same-day service is available seven days a week.
Can I open the door with a broken spring?
We recommend you don't. The door can weigh several hundred pounds without its springs, and running the opener can burn out the motor or pull the door off its cables. If you must get a car out, lift with help and extreme care - then leave it closed until the repair.
Should both springs be repaired, or just the broken one?
Both. Springs are fitted together and wear together, so the unbroken one is usually near the end of its life too. Repairing both keeps the door balanced and saves a second service call.
How much does a spring repair cost?
It depends on your door's size, weight and spring type - that's why every visit starts with a free on-site estimate. We quote the full price before any work begins, with no trip fee and no surprises.
How long do new springs last?
Standard springs are typically rated for about 10,000 open-close cycles. We also offer high-cycle springs rated for several times that, which are a smart upgrade for a door the family uses as the front door.
