Closed gray sectional garage door with keypad

Garage door springs carry the full weight of your door and wear out over time, usually after 7–10 years or thousands of open/close cycles. A broken spring can make your door impossible to open, or unsafe to use if it slams shut.

Our technicians carry the right springs for most residential doors and typically complete spring replacement in a single visit. All spring repairs are backed by our 2-year no-hassle warranty.

Springs are under extreme tension. Never try to adjust, unwind, or replace a garage door spring yourself; it can cause serious injury.

Garage Door Spring Repair: Recent Work

Broken torsion spring above a garage door with a visible gap in the coils — Before: a snapped torsion spring

See the gap in the left-hand spring? That's a broken torsion spring. The door suddenly feels like it weighs a few hundred pounds and the opener can't lift it. Don't force it. Give us a call.

Torsion spring broken near its end above a garage door with windows — Broken spring on a windowed door

A clean break near the end of the spring on this windowed door. We replace springs matched to your door's weight, and every spring repair carries our 2-year no-hassle warranty.

New torsion spring installed above a windowed sectional garage door — After: new spring, door balanced

Back in business: new spring installed, tension set, and the door balance-tested so it opens smoothly and stays put when stopped halfway.

Old rust-brown torsion spring on the shaft above an insulated garage door — Before: a worn, rusted torsion spring

This spring had years of wear and rust on it. Springs are rated for a set number of open-and-close cycles, and an old, rusted one is a breakdown waiting to happen.

New black torsion spring mounted on the center bracket above an insulated garage door — After: new torsion spring installed

A new spring sized to the door's weight, tension set and the door balance-tested so it opens smoothly. Every spring repair carries our 2-year no-hassle warranty.

Single torsion spring above a white single-car garage door — Single-spring door, set up right

Not every door needs two springs. On this single-car door we sized the spring to the door's weight and made sure the cables and drums were wound evenly on both sides.

Torsion spring and opener rail above a garage door with orange-trimmed windows — Spring and opener working together

A balanced door takes the strain off your opener. The spring does the heavy lifting, so the opener only has to guide the door, and it lasts years longer.

Garage Door Spring Repair FAQs

How much does spring replacement cost?

Price depends on the type and size of spring (torsion or extension), and whether one or both springs need replacing. We'll give you an exact price upfront before any work starts.

Should I replace both springs at once?

Often, yes. If your door has two springs, they were installed at the same time and usually wear at the same rate. When one breaks, the other is typically close behind. We'll explain your options on site.

Is it safe to open my door with a broken spring?

No. Without a working spring, the door is extremely heavy and can fall suddenly. It can also damage your opener. Leave it closed and give us a call.

What does the 2-year warranty cover?

Every spring repair we do is backed by our 2-year no-hassle warranty. If there's a problem with the work, we'll make it right.
