Overview
A broken spring is the most common and dangerous garage door issue we handle. The high-tension steel can cause serious injury if mishandled. We carefully measure your existing spring's length, inner diameter, and wire size, then select a correctly rated replacement. After installation, we tension the spring to manufacturer specifications, balance the door, and test the entire system before leaving. Same-day service is available for most spring repairs.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about broken spring replacement.
How do I know if my garage door spring is broken?+
The most obvious sign is that the door won't open, or it feels extremely heavy when lifted manually. You may also see a visible gap in the spring or hear a loud bang when it breaks.
Can I replace a garage door spring myself?+
No. Torsion springs are under extreme tension exceeding 10,000 pounds of force. Improper handling can cause serious injury or death. Always hire a trained professional.
How long does spring replacement take?+
Most spring replacements are completed within 45 minutes to 1.5 hours, including door balancing and safety testing.
Should I replace both springs at the same time?+
Yes. If one spring breaks, the other has endured the same wear and will likely fail soon. Replacing both ensures balanced operation and extends system life.
