Why Garage Door Springs Matter
Garage door springs are the powerhouse behind the smooth and safe operation of your garage door. They counterbalance the heavy weight of the door—often over 150 pounds—making it easy to open and close, whether manually or with an opener. When springs wear out or break, your door can become impossible or dangerous to operate, stressing other components and posing safety hazards.
Types of Garage Door Springs We Service
There are two main types of garage door springs: torsion and extension.
- Torsion Springs: Mounted above the door, these provide superior balance and durability, commonly found in residential systems.
- Extension Springs: Located on either side of the door, these stretch and contract to lift the door and are often used on lighter doors.
Our technicians are trained to repair and replace both types, ensuring optimal performance and safety for every garage door system.
Signs Your Garage Door Springs Need Service
Watch for these warning signs that your springs may need repair or replacement:
- Loud bang from the garage (possible spring break)
- Door feels unusually heavy or won’t open
- Door moves unevenly or stops partway
- Visible gaps, rust, or stretching in the springs
- Door slams shut instead of closing smoothly
If you notice any of these issues, contact a professional immediately—spring failures can cause serious injury or property damage due to the high tension involved.
