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 fastest, safest fix is a same-day professional replacement with a matched, properly-wound pair.

Never an after-hours fee

Your spring repair costs 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 give you a firm, all-in quote for your standard 7-ft residential door before we touch it — no surprises on the invoice.

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.

How Spring Repair Works With Us

A real technician answers the phone, the price you're quoted is the price you pay, and we don't leave until the door is balanced and tested.

  1. Step 1
    Free phone diagnosis

    Tell us what happened — we'll confirm spring vs cable vs opener in 60 seconds. No charge to talk to a real technician.

  2. Step 2
    Same-day arrival

    Trucks staged across Broward & Palm Beach. We'll confirm your appointment window when you call — emergency service is available 24/7.

  3. Step 3
    Matched pair installed

    We always recommend replacing both springs at once (cycle-matched). Single replacement available if the other spring is new.

  4. Step 4
    Balance & safety test

    Door balanced to within 1 inch of equilibrium, safety eyes realigned, opener force adjusted, and we test 10 cycles before we leave.

  5. Step 5
    Written warranty

    Up to 10-year warranty on the spring itself, 1-year on labor. Receipt and warranty card emailed before we leave the driveway.

Spring Repair — Common Questions

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

We give you a firm, all-in quote based on whether you need a single spring or a matched pair, before any work begins. We never charge a service call fee when you book the repair, and the price you're quoted on the phone 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 costs a bit more up front and adds 5+ years to your door.

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 residential jobs are done in about an hour on site, including balance testing and a full safety inspection. Double-spring jobs can take a bit longer than single-spring jobs.

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.
