Garage Door Spring Repair FAQ
How do I know if my garage door spring is broken?
Common signs include a loud bang from the garage, the door feeling extremely heavy, the door opening only a few inches, or a visible gap in the spring above the door.
Is it dangerous to open a garage door with a broken spring?
Yes, operating a garage door with a broken spring can cause the door to slam shut unexpectedly, potentially causing serious injury or damage. Do not attempt to open it manually.
How long do garage door springs typically last?
Standard springs last about 10,000 cycles, which is roughly seven to ten years of normal use. We install high-cycle springs that can last significantly longer.
Should I replace both springs at the same time?
We strongly recommend replacing both springs simultaneously. If one spring has broken, the other is under similar stress and likely to fail soon, saving you a second service call.
What is the difference between torsion and extension springs?
Torsion springs mount above the door opening and use twisting force, while extension springs run along the horizontal tracks. Torsion springs are generally safer and longer-lasting.
Can I stay home while you replace the springs?
Absolutely. The work is done entirely in your garage. Most spring replacements are completed within one to two hours, and we clean up completely before leaving.
