Signs You Need Spring Replacement
Loud Bang
A sudden loud noise from the garage often indicates a spring has snapped.
Door Won't Open
The door may only open a few inches or feel extremely heavy if a spring is broken.
Visible Gap in the Spring
The most obvious sign. If you see a 2-3 inch gap in your torsion spring, it's broken.
Door Closes Too Fast
If the door slams down quickly, the springs may be failing to support its weight.
Crooked or Uneven Door
If one spring breaks on a two-spring system, the door might hang unevenly.
Opener Strains
The garage door opener may struggle or fail to lift the door if springs aren't assisting.
Door Difficult to Open Manually
Without spring assistance, the door will feel extremely heavy and difficult or impossible to lift.
Spring Shows Rust or Wear
Visible rust, corrosion, or stretched coils indicate the spring is weakening and may break soon.
Broken Spring FAQs
Most garage door springs are rated for 10,000 cycles (one cycle is opening and closing the door once). This typically translates to 7-12 years of use, depending on how frequently you use your garage door.
Yes, it's highly recommended to replace both springs at the same time. Springs are installed at the same time and experience similar wear. If one breaks, the other is likely to break soon after.
We use high-quality, high-cycle torsion springs designed for durability and longevity. We ensure the springs are correctly sized for your specific garage door's weight and dimensions.
It's extremely difficult and dangerous to open a garage door with a broken spring, especially with an automatic opener, which can be damaged. We strongly advise against attempting to open it and recommend calling for professional service immediately.
