Garage Door Spring Repair

Your garage door may weigh between 150 to 400+ pounds.

The spring system:

• Counterbalances the weight
• Reduces strain on the opener
• Controls smooth movement
• Prevents sudden door drops

Without properly functioning springs, your opener motor can burn out quickly — and the door may collapse unexpectedly.

Types of Garage Door Springs We Replace

Torsion Springs

Mounted above the garage door opening.

Advantages:

• Smoother operation
• Longer lifespan
• Better balance
• Safer system design

Most modern homes use torsion springs.

Extension Springs

Mounted along the sides of the door.

Common in:

• Older garage door systems

They stretch and contract during operation.

We upgrade many extension systems to torsion for improved safety and longevity.

Signs You Have a Broken Garage Door Spring

You may notice:

✔ Loud snapping sound
✔ Door won’t open
✔ Door lifts a few inches then stops
✔ Crooked door movement
✔ Visible gap in the spring
✔ Door feels extremely heavy manually

If you notice any of these signs, stop using the door and call a professional immediately.

Why Spring Repair Is Dangerous

Garage door springs are under extreme tension.

DIY attempts can cause:

• Severe hand injuries
• Broken fingers
• Facial injury
• Sudden door collapse
• Property damage

Professional technicians use:

• Specialized winding bars
• Proper tension calibration tools
• Safety procedures

Spring repair is NOT a DIY project.
