Broken Spring Replacement
Snapped torsion or extension spring, replaced safely.
Overview
A broken spring is the most common reason a door suddenly won't lift — and the most dangerous to fix yourself, since a wound torsion spring stores hundreds of pounds of force. We use the proper winding bars, replace springs in matched pairs so the balance holds, and set the door so your opener isn't dragging a dead weight.
Signs you need this
- Loud bang from the garage, then the door won't open
- A visible gap in the torsion spring above the door
- Opener strains, hums, or lifts only a few inches
- Door slams down or feels impossibly heavy by hand
