A broken garage door spring can leave your door stuck, heavy, or unsafe to operate. Our experienced technicians provide professional spring replacement to restore smooth, reliable garage door operation throughout Northern Virginia.
Garage door springs do the heavy lifting. If you notice any of these warning signs, it’s time to schedule a professional inspection.
A sudden, loud bang from your garage may indicate that a torsion spring has snapped. Stop operating the door and arrange a professional inspection.
If your garage door won’t open, lifts only a few inches, or feels unusually heavy, a broken spring could be preventing proper operation.
A noticeable gap in a torsion spring coil is a common sign of spring failure. Never attempt to reconnect or adjust a broken spring yourself.
A crooked or unbalanced garage door may indicate a damaged spring or related hardware problem. Professional service can help prevent further damage.
Garage door springs are under extreme tension and can cause serious injuries if handled incorrectly. Professional technicians have the training and tools needed to replace springs safely.
Stay clear of broken springs, cables, and moving door components.
Keep children and pets away from the garage door until it has been inspected.
Avoid adjusting, removing, or replacing springs yourself. Contact an experienced technician for assistance.
Operating the opener with a broken spring can damage your garage door system or create additional safety risks.
Mounted above the garage door, torsion springs use rotational force to balance the door’s weight. They are designed for controlled lifting and smooth operation.
Installed along the sides of the door tracks, extension springs stretch and contract to help lift and lower the door
If your garage door uses two matched springs, replacing both may be the best option when one breaks and the other has similar age and wear. Replacing them together can help maintain balanced operation and reduce the likelihood of another service call soon after.
Garage door springs are rated by cycles, with one cycle representing one complete opening and closing.
STANDARD SPRINGS
Approximately 10,000 cycles.
HIGH-CYCLE SPRINGS
Often 25,000–50,000+ cycles, depending on the product.
For a household using its garage door four times daily, a 10,000-cycle spring could last around 6–7 years. Actual lifespan varies with usage, installation, corrosion, and maintenance.
