WHY SPRINGS BREAK

What Causes Garage Door Springs To Break?

Garage door springs support the weight of your garage door every time it opens and closes. After thousands of operating cycles, springs naturally wear out and eventually break. Weather conditions, rust, lack of maintenance, and daily use can all shorten their lifespan.

Common signs of a broken or failing garage door spring include:

  • The garage door won’t open or only opens a few inches.
  • You hear a loud bang coming from the garage.
  • The door feels unusually heavy.
  • The opener struggles to lift the door.
  • Visible gaps or damage in the spring.

If you suspect a broken spring, avoid operating the garage door until it has been inspected by a professional.

How We Replace Garage Door Springs

Replacing garage door springs requires specialized tools and training because the springs are under significant tension. Our technicians safely remove the damaged springs, install properly sized replacements, and balance the entire garage door system.

  • Inspect the garage door system
  • Identify the correct replacement springs
  • Safely remove broken springs
  • Install new torsion or extension springs
  • Balance and adjust the garage door
  • Test the opener and all safety features

Before we finish, we ensure your garage door opens and closes smoothly, safely, and reliably.

Should You Replace Both Garage Door Springs?

Most garage doors use two springs that wear at nearly the same rate. If one spring has broken, the second spring has usually experienced similar wear and may fail soon after.

Replacing both springs at the same time can provide several benefits:

  • Better door balance
  • Smoother operation
  • Reduced strain on the garage door opener
  • Fewer unexpected breakdowns
  • Longer-lasting performance

Our technicians will inspect your system and recommend the best solution based on the condition of your existing springs.

Garage Door Spring Repair FAQs

How do I know if my garage door spring is broken?

A broken spring often causes the garage door to stop opening, feel extremely heavy, or make a loud snapping sound when it breaks. You may also notice a visible gap in the spring itself.

Can I replace a garage door spring myself?

Garage door spring replacement is not recommended as a DIY project. Springs are under high tension and can cause serious injury if handled improperly. Professional replacement helps ensure the job is completed safely.

How long do garage door springs last?

Most standard garage door springs are designed to last approximately 10,000 cycles, although actual lifespan depends on usage, maintenance, and environmental conditions.
