LEARN ABOUT SPRING REPAIR & REPLACEMENT

Garage Door Spring Repair & Replacement

Garage door springs are under enormous tension and support the full weight of your door every time it opens and closes. Most standard garage door springs are rated for 8,000 to 10,000 cycles, which typically equals about 7 to 10 years of normal use. When a spring breaks, it often fails suddenly with a loud bang and the garage door becomes unsafe or impossible to operate. 


There are two main types of springs used in residential garage doors: torsion springs and extension springs. Torsion springs are mounted horizontally above the garage door opening and twist to lift the door, while extension springs run along the horizontal tracks on each side of the door. Our Fort Myers garage door technicians are trained to repair and replace both types of springs and carry the most common sizes on every service vehicle for fast repairs. 


We strongly recommend replacing both garage door springs at the same time, even if only one has broken. Because both springs have been used equally, the second spring is typically at the same age and wear level and often fails shortly after the first. Replacing both springs during the same visit helps you avoid another service call, additional labor costs, and the inconvenience of another garage door breakdown.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR

Signs Your Spring Needs Repair

Loud bang from the garage

A broken torsion spring often snaps with a sound like a gunshot. If you heard a loud bang and your door stopped working, this is almost certainly what happened.

Door won't open — opener strains or reverses

Without spring tension, the opener is forced to lift the full dead weight of the door. It may strain, hum, partially lift, then reverse — or refuse to engage at all.

Door hangs crooked or lopsided

One broken spring (on a two-spring system) will cause the door to sag or tilt to one side, making it impossible to open safely without risking further damage.

Visible gap or break in the spring coil

A broken torsion spring will have a visible gap — typically a 2–3 inch separation in the coil above the door. You can see this by looking at the spring above the door opening.
