Garage Door Spring Repair

Signs your garage door spring needs attention

A loud bang from the garage, a visible gap in a torsion spring, or a door that suddenly feels unusually heavy can point to a broken spring. The opener may strain or move the door only a few inches. These symptoms need inspection: a jammed track or another hardware problem can also prevent movement. Avoid repeatedly running the opener when the door will not lift normally.

What the repair involves

We inspect the spring system, cables and related hardware, check the door configuration, and select replacement springs appropriate to the door. Torsion and extension systems use different components. After the repair, the door balance and operation are checked. A conversion from extension springs to a torsion system can be discussed when suitable; it is a separate option rather than a requirement for every repair.

What affects the estimate

The spring type, door size and weight, number of springs, and condition of the surrounding hardware affect the work required. A photo of the full door from inside the garage and a close view of the spring system can help with an initial discussion. Take photos from a safe position without touching the springs. The final scope and price depend on inspection.
