What a Broken Garage Door Spring Looks Like

Garage door torsion springs lift 250–400 lbs of door every cycle. They are rated for ~10,000 cycles — about 7 years for the average household. When they fail, the door becomes deadweight: the opener strains, the cables jump the drums, and forcing it bends the track. The safest fix is a prompt professional replacement with a matched, properly-wound pair.

Never an after-hours fee

Spring repair pricing is the same at 2 PM or 2 AM. No nights, weekends, or holiday surcharges — ever.

Made-in-USA springs

We do not stock cheap Chinese imports. Our springs are commercial-grade, oil-quenched, and last 2–3x longer.

No bait-and-switch

We quote your exact price in writing for a standard 7-ft residential door before we touch it. No surprise charges.

Up to 10-year warranty

If your spring breaks again, we replace it for free, parts and labor — for up to 10 years.

Warning Signs You Need Spring Repair

If any of these match what your door is doing — stop using it and call us. Forcing a damaged door turns a small repair into a major bill.

Loud bang from the garage

Almost always a torsion spring snapping under 200+ lbs of tension. Stop using the door immediately.

Door won't open more than 6 inches

The opener pulls, then reverses. Classic broken-spring symptom on a 1-spring system.

Door feels insanely heavy by hand

A balanced door should rise with two fingers. If you can barely lift it, the spring is broken or stretched.

Visible 2–3 inch gap in the spring

Look up at the torsion shaft above the door. A clean break in the coil = full replacement needed.

Cables loose or hanging down

When a spring snaps, the cables lose tension and can jump off the drums. Don't run the opener.

Door crooked or tilted

On 2-spring systems, one side breaks first and the door drops on that side. Forcing it bends the bottom section.

Spring Repair — Common Questions

How much does it cost to replace a broken garage door spring?+

We provide a free written estimate for a single torsion spring on a 1-car door and for a matched pair on a 2-car door. We never charge a service call fee when you book the repair, and the price you're quoted is the price you pay.

Can I just replace one spring if only one is broken?+

Technically yes, but we recommend against it. The unbroken spring has the same cycle count and will snap within 6–12 months — and you'll pay another service call. Replacing both springs at once adds 5+ years to your door for a modest difference in cost, quoted in writing up front.

Is it safe to use my garage door with a broken spring?+

No. The opener is rated to lift a balanced door (~20 lbs of effort). With a broken spring, it's pulling 250–400 lbs deadweight. You'll burn out the opener gear, snap the cables, and likely bend the bottom panel. Stop using the door and call us.

How long does a garage door spring replacement take?+

Most repairs are completed in a single visit for residential doors, including balance test and a full safety inspection.

Why do garage door springs break?+

Three reasons: (1) end of cycle life — most stock springs are rated for ~10,000 cycles, about 7 years for a typical 4-cycle/day household; (2) rust from South Florida humidity and salt air; (3) wrong spring size at install (a common shortcut by low-bid installers).

Should I try to replace a garage door spring myself?+

No. Torsion springs hold 200+ lbs of tension and require winding bars rated for the spring size. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission tracks thousands of injuries from DIY spring replacement every year. Hiring a pro costs less than an ER visit.
