Spring replacement.

Springs do the heavy lifting for your garage door. When one breaks, the door won't open, and a spring under tension is dangerous to handle. That's a job for a professional.

Overview

What to expect

Garage door springs are one of the most important parts of the door's mechanism. They counterbalance the weight of the door so the opener, or your hands, only have to guide it. Most springs are rated for a set number of open-and-close cycles, and they eventually wear out.

Replacing a spring is complex and can be dangerous without the right tools and training. Our technicians replace torsion and extension springs, match them to your door's weight, and rebalance the door so it runs smoothly and safely.

Spring Replacement FAQs

We don't recommend it. Springs hold a lot of tension and can cause serious injury if they slip. Replacement needs special tools and training.

Often, yes. Springs installed together tend to wear at the same rate, so when one breaks the other usually isn't far behind. Your technician will tell you what makes sense for your door.

Please don't. Without the spring's counterbalance the door is extremely heavy, and it can fall. Call us and leave it closed.
