Garage door springs

Garage door springs are one of the most important components of any garage door system. They are responsible for supporting the weight of the door, allowing it to open and close smoothly. When a spring breaks or becomes worn, the door may become difficult to operate, uneven, or stop working altogether.

Our experienced technicians provide professional garage door spring repair and replacement services for residential and commercial properties. We work with a wide range of garage door systems and use high-quality replacement springs designed for long-lasting performance and reliable operation.

Common Signs of a Broken Garage Door Spring

A damaged garage door spring often gives clear warning signs before it fails completely. If you notice any of the following, it is advisable to have your garage door inspected:

  • The garage door refuses to open.
  • The door feels unusually heavy when lifting manually.
  • The garage door opens unevenly.
  • Loud snapping or banging noises from the garage.
  • Visible gaps in the spring.
  • The opener struggles to lift the door.
  • The door closes too quickly.
  • Jerky or unstable movement while opening or closing.

Ignoring these symptoms can place additional strain on the garage door opener and other moving parts, resulting in more expensive repairs.

Torsion Springs vs Extension Springs

Most garage doors operate using either torsion springs or extension springs.

Torsion Springs

Torsion springs are mounted above the garage door and use controlled torque to lift and lower the door. They generally offer:

  • Longer service life
  • Smoother operation
  • Better balance
  • Increased safety
  • Improved durability

Extension Springs

Extension springs are fitted along the sides of the garage door tracks. They stretch and contract as the door moves and are commonly found on older garage door systems.

Our technicians are fully equipped to service and replace both types of springs.
