What Is a Garage Door Spring?
Garage door springs do the heavy lifting — literally. They counterbalance the weight of your door (typically 150–300 lbs), making it possible for your opener motor or your arm to raise and lower the door with minimal effort.
There are two types of spring systems:
- Torsion Springs — Mounted horizontally above the door opening. The most common and safest type. One or two springs twist to create torque as the door moves.
- Extension Springs — Run along the horizontal tracks on either side of the door. Less common in newer installations but still widely found in older homes.
Signs Your Spring Is broken
- Loud bang from the garage (often mistaken for an intruder)
- Door won't open — opener runs but door barely moves
- Door feels extremely heavy when lifted manually
- Visible gap in the torsion spring coil above the door
- Door opens only 6 inches before the opener's safety feature kicks in
- Cables hanging loose or off their drums

Flat rate — no service fee. Parts and labor included. Price confirmed before any work begins.
why replace both springs?
Springs on the same door wear at the same rate. If one breaks, the other is likely within weeks or months of failing too. Replacing both at the same time saves you a second service call — and at $475 for two vs. $350 for one, it’s rarely worth the risk.
Our technicians will always explain the condition of both springs and let you decide. We never pressure you into unnecessary work.

warning signs
Don't Wait —
Call Us Now.
A broken spring turns your garage into a liability. Most calls are same-day.
Loud Bang
A sudden loud bang from the garage is often a spring snapping. Don’t open the door until it’s inspected.
Heavy Door
If your door feels like it weighs a ton when you try to lift it manually, the spring system has likely failed.
Opens a Few Inches
A sudden loud bang from the garage is often a spring snapping. Don’t open the door until it’s inspected.
Gap in the Spring
A broken torsion spring will have a visible gap in the coil above the door. You can see this from inside the garage.
Loose Cables
When springs break, the cables go slack. You may see them hanging off the drums or piled at the bottom of the door.
Door Won't Budge
Your opener is running but the door barely moves — or doesn’t move at all. This is a classic broken spring symptom.
