Broken Garage Door Spring Repair
A broken garage door spring is one of the most common reasons a door suddenly stops working. You may hear a loud bang from the garage, notice a visible gap in the spring or find that the opener can lift the door only a few inches.
Our technicians inspect the complete spring system and replace worn or broken components using parts selected for the size and weight of the door.
Signs of a broken or failing spring include:
- The garage door feels unusually heavy
- The opener strains or stops
- The door opens only a few inches
- The door closes too quickly
- A gap is visible in the torsion spring
- The door sits unevenly
- The cables appear loose after the spring breaks
Garage door springs are under significant tension. Do not attempt to unwind or replace one without the proper training and tools.
Garage Door Opener Repair and Replacement
A malfunctioning garage door opener does not always need to be replaced. The problem may involve the safety sensors, travel settings, remote controls, wall switch, trolley, gear system or another repairable component.

Call us when:
- The opener runs but the door does not move
