Springs do the heavy lifting for your garage door, and worn or broken springs are the most common repair.
How Springs Work
Garage door springs store energy to counterbalance the door's weight, letting the opener and your own effort lift a heavy door with ease. Torsion springs mount on a shaft above the door, while extension springs run along the tracks. Both are rated for a set number of cycles and wear out over time.
Signs of Worn Springs
A door that feels heavy, opens unevenly, closes too fast, or leaves the opener straining often points to a tired or broken spring. A visible gap in the coil above the door is a clear sign of a break. Because springs are under high tension, adjustment and replacement should be left to a trained technician.
Professional Spring Service
A technician measures the wire size, diameter, and length to select the correct spring, replaces it safely with proper winding tools, and rebalances the door. Replacing springs in matched pairs is often recommended so both wear at the same rate and the door stays balanced.
