A broken spring is the most common — and most dangerous — garage door failure. We replace them safely, correctly, and usually the same day you call.
Garage door springs carry the weight of the door. When one snaps, the door can come crashing down, cause injury, or damage the opener trying to compensate. If you heard a loud bang from your garage and now the door won't open — or won't stay open — a spring has most likely broken.
This is not a DIY job. Springs are under extreme tension, and replacing them incorrectly can cause serious injury. Our technicians are trained to handle spring replacement safely, with proper tools and the right replacement parts.
Torsion springs run horizontally above the door and are the most common type in modern homes. They last longer and are generally safer than extension springs. Extension springs run along the sides of the track and are found on older or lighter doors. We replace both types and can recommend the best fit for your door setup.
If one spring breaks and you have a two-spring system, we typically recommend replacing both. The second spring has the same lifespan and will likely fail within months of the first. Replacing them together saves you the service call cost and prevents a second breakdown at an inconvenient time.
We stock springs in a wide range of sizes for standard residential and commercial doors. In most cases, we can schedule your replacement the same day and have your door working again in under an hour.
