Your garage door only works when its springs do. They carry the full weight of the door. When they fail, it becomes unsafe and unusable. Garage door spring repair isn’t possible, and replacement is dangerous without the proper training and tools — so it’s best to call in the professionals.

Signs You Need Garage Door Spring Replacement
No matter what kind of garage door you have, it likely relies on springs to function. There are two main types of garage door springs — extension springs and torsion springs. Both perform the same basic function of supporting the weight of your garage door so it’s possible to open smoothly.
Although garage door springs are built to last for a while, they do wear down and weaken with repeated use. Certain conditions, such as cold temperatures, can make them more likely to break. A broken spring strains your opening mechanism and makes the door difficult to open and close safely.
If you suspect your garage door springs need attention, here are signs to look out for:
- Gaps in the spring coil
- A heavy door that won’t stay open
- A struggling garage door opener
- Loud snapping or banging sounds
- Uneven movement, like jerking or tilting
Types of Garage Doors We Repair
We carry springs for every garage door size and type.
Double Garage Doors
If you have a double garage door, you will have two springs, as shown in the picture below. Typically, springs break one by one. However, each spring is designed to do the same amount of work. If one spring breaks, the other will need replacement at the same time to save money on a second service call only days later.
Single Garage Doors
The same is not true with single garage doors with a single spring. If you have two garage doors and one door has a broken spring, but the other door is fine, it’s not critical to change the spring on both doors. Lesser-used doors may have many years of operation left.
