Spring Replacement & Repair

About This Service

Broken springs are the #1 cause of garage door failure, accounting for nearly 60% of all service calls. Our spring replacement specialists provide same-day service with high-quality parts and professional installation that exceeds industry standards. ## Understanding Garage Door Springs Garage door springs are under extreme tension—they support the entire weight of your door (typically 150-300 pounds for residential doors). When properly balanced, your door should feel light and easy to lift manually. If it feels heavy or won't stay open, your springs are likely worn or broken. ## Types of Springs We Service **Torsion Springs**: Mounted above the door, these heavy-duty springs twist to provide lifting force. They're more durable and safer than extension springs, typically lasting 15,000-20,000 cycles (about 7-10 years with average use). We install high-cycle torsion springs that can last up to 100,000 cycles. **Extension Springs**: Located along the horizontal tracks on each side of the door, these springs stretch and contract. They're more common in older homes and typically need replacement every 5-7 years. We always install safety cables through extension springs to prevent injury if they break. ## Why Spring Replacement Requires Professional Service Garage door spring replacement is one of the most dangerous DIY repairs homeowners attempt. Springs are under extreme tension—enough to cause serious injury or death if handled improperly. Our technicians have specialized tools and training to safely remove and install springs while following strict safety protocols. ## Our Spring Replacement Process 1. **Accurate Measurement**: We precisely measure your door's weight, height, and track radius to select springs with the correct specifications. 2. **Proper Tensioning**: Springs must be wound to exact specifications. Too much tension causes premature wear; too little means your opener works harder and fails sooner. 3. **Balance Testing**: After installation, we test the door balance to ensure smooth, effortless operation. 4. **Lifetime Warranty**: We stand behind our work with a lifetime warranty on all spring installations. ## High-Cycle Spring Upgrades For homes with frequent garage use (3+ cars, businesses, high-traffic areas), we recommend upgrading to high-cycle springs rated for 50,000-100,000 cycles. Though slightly more expensive upfront, they last 5-10 times longer than standard springs, providing excellent long-term value. ## Signs Your Springs Need Replacement - Door feels heavy when lifting manually - Door won't stay open without being held - Visible gaps in torsion springs - Door closes too quickly - Loud bang or snapping sound - Cables are loose or hanging
