Garage Door Spring Replacement

Common Questions About Broken Garage Door Springs

Not all garage door spring systems are the same. Some homes use torsion springs above the door, while others use extension springs along the sides of the track. Our team can identify your spring system, check for wear or damage, and help restore safe operation.

Absolutely not. You should never try to repair or replace a broken garage door spring yourself. Garage door springs are under hundreds or even thousands of pounds of tension, and one small mistake can cause serious injury, fatal injury, or major damage to your garage door system. Spring replacement should always be handled by a trained professional with the proper tools and experience.

Most standard garage door springs last between 6,000 and 10,000 cycles, with one cycle being a full open and close of the door. The lifespan depends on how often the door is used, the quality of the spring, and how well the system is maintained. Integrity Garage Doors uses 20,000-cycle springs or greater on our repairs and installations for longer-lasting performance.

You may hear a loud bang from the garage, notice the door will not lift, or find that the door feels extremely heavy when trying to open it manually. In many cases, you may also see a visible gap in the spring above the garage door.

Yes, using your garage door with a broken spring can damage your opener. Garage door openers are designed to guide the door, not lift the full weight of it. The springs carry most of the door’s weight and make safe movement possible. If the opener is forced to operate while a spring is broken, it can strain the motor and cause costly damage.
