When a garage door spring breaks, the door becomes very heavy and unsafe to lift manually. The opener motor may also fail or strain if you try to force it. You should not use the door until the spring is replaced by a certified technician.

The most common signs are: a loud bang from the garage, a door that won’t open, a door that feels extremely heavy, a visible gap in the spring coil above the door, or a door that drops quickly when closing. If you see any of these, call for a professional inspection immediately.

No. Garage door springs are under very high tension. Replacing them without the right tools and training is extremely dangerous. Improper spring replacement has caused serious injuries. Always use a certified technician.

Most spring replacements take 1 to 2 hours. Our technician will assess the spring type, order or bring the correct replacement, and complete the repair including a door balance test on the same visit.
