Garage door spring repair covers torsion springs mounted above the door, extension springs along the tracks, and the hardware that anchors and balances them. Springs counterbalance the weight of the door, so when one fails the opener can't lift it safely.
We replace springs in matched pairs, even if only one is broken. The unbroken one is the same age and same number of cycles in, and replacing only one leaves the door unbalanced and the new spring fails fast. Most jobs take under an hour.
If your door is doing any of these, the springs are gone or going. Don't try to force the door open with the opener.
A snapped torsion spring sounds like a gunshot. The door usually won't open after.
A working door should lift with one hand. If you're straining, the springs have lost tension.
A clear separation in the coil above the door means the spring is broken. Don't use the opener.
If the door slams down instead of lowering smoothly, spring tension is gone.
Most spring problems are a same-day or next-day pair replacement. Here's when it makes sense to think bigger.
One spring broke, the other is the same age. Standard practice is replacing the matched pair so the door stays balanced.
If the door has had multiple spring failures or the door itself is past its lifespan, replacing the whole system may be the smarter spend.
Salt-laden trade winds corrode the steel coils of garage door springs months or years before they would fail on the mainland. Coastal homes from Hawaii Kai to Kailua see the fastest spring fatigue, and even inland Oahu homes face higher humidity than dry mainland climates.
Stainless steel and galvanized springs hold up better here. When we replace springs, we recommend corrosion-resistant options sized correctly for the door's weight and cycle count.
