Garage door won’t open
Door only opens a few inches or moves unevenly
Loud bang or snapping sound from the garage
Garage door feels very heavy to lift manually
Spring coils have 3-4 inch gaps
Cables are loose or disconnected
Grinding or screeching sounds during operation
If you notice any of these issues, give us a call right away. Using your garage door with a broken spring puts your garage door opener at risk and can damage other hardware.
We service and replace all major types of garage door springs:
The most common spring system used in residential garages. Mounted above the door, these springs use torque to lift the door evenly and safely.
Found on either side of the door, these springs stretch as the door lowers. They’re more common in older setups but still in use.
These are a special type of spring system enclosed in a metal tube. We can replace these too, though they’re specific to Wayne-Dalton doors.
Garage door springs are hardworking components—here’s why they fail:
Wear and Tear: Springs are rated for a limited number of cycles (typically 10,000). Over time, they wear down and snap.
Rust or Corrosion: Rust can weaken the spring coils, reducing lifespan.
Lack of Maintenance: Unlubricated or neglected springs break down faster.
Unbalanced Door: If other components are failing, the springs take on extra strain.
⚠️ Safety First: A garage door can weigh 150–300 lbs or more. A broken spring means the door could suddenly fall, risking injury or damage.
⚠️ Prevent Costly Repairs: Continuing to use your garage door can burn out the opener or damage other parts.
💰 Save Money: Fixing the spring right away prevents chain-reaction failures that cost more to fix later.
