About garage door springs
The most critical component
Garage door springs bear the entire weight of your door - up to 400 lbs - thousands of times per year. When one fails, your door stops working entirely.
Springs are the backbone of your door system, counterbalancing its weight and allowing the opener to lift effortlessly. A well-maintained spring means quiet operation and a longer lifespan for every other component.
When a spring breaks - often with a loud bang - the door becomes impossible to open safely. This isn't just an inconvenience; it can be a serious safety risk. Our technicians arrive fast and have your door working again the same day.
Know your springs
Torsion vs. extension springs
Understanding your spring type helps our technicians arrive fully stocked - no waiting on parts.
Torsion Springs
Mounted horizontally above the door opening, torsion springs twist and store mechanical energy. They offer superior balance, quieter operation, and a longer lifespan - typically 15,000-20,000 cycles. Most modern homes use this system, and we recommend upgrading to high-cycle torsion springs for maximum longevity.
Extension Springs
These stretch along the horizontal tracks on either side of the door. Found in older homes or garages with low headroom clearance, they require safety cables to prevent dangerous snapping when they break. Typical lifespan is 8,000-10,000 cycles. We can upgrade these to torsion springs when possible.
Don't ignore these
Signs your spring needs repair
Catch spring problems early before you get stuck with a door that won't open - especially in an emergency.
Loud bang from the garage
A broken torsion spring often snaps with a bang as loud as a gunshot. If you heard this, do not attempt to open the door.
Door suddenly won't open
If the opener motor strains and the door won't lift, or is extremely heavy manually, the spring has likely failed and can no longer counterbalance the weight.
Uneven or crooked door
When one spring breaks on a two-spring system, the door lifts unevenly, causing it to bind in the tracks and potentially damage the panels or hardware.
Visible gap in the spring
Look above your door. A visible gap or separation in the torsion spring coil is a definitive sign of failure. Schedule repair before attempting to use the door.
Slow or jerky movement
If the door moves slower than usual, pauses mid-travel, or shudders on the way up, the spring tension may be wearing out or uneven across both springs.
Spring is 7+ years old
Most springs last 7-10 years or about 10,000 cycles. Proactive replacement before failure saves you from an inconvenient breakdown at the worst moment.
