Garage Door Spring Replacement

Signs You Need a New Spring & What to Know

Garage door springs are under extreme tension and are one of the most common failure points in any door system. When they fail, your door can become heavy, unsafe, or completely unusable.

Common signs of a failing spring include:

• Door feels heavy when lifting manually

• Loud bang from the garage (spring snapping)

• Door opening unevenly

• Opener struggling or stopping midway

There are two main types: torsion springs and extension springs. Most modern sectional doors use torsion springs, which provide smoother and more controlled movement.

Spring replacement is not a DIY job. The stored energy in a spring can cause serious injury if handled incorrectly. A professional technician will match the correct spring size, tension it properly, and balance the door to ensure smooth operation.

Replacing springs early prevents damage to your opener and avoids costly repairs later.
