Why Garage Door Springs Fail

Garage door springs are under extreme tension. They counterbalance the weight of the door, making it possible for you—or your opener—to lift it smoothly. Over time, they wear out, fatigue, and eventually break.

Common causes of spring failure include

  • Reaching the end of their cycle life (usually 10,000+ cycles)
  • Rust and corrosion (especially in Colorado winters)
  • Lack of lubrication and maintenance
  • Using low-quality or undersized springs
  • Excessive use (multiple cycles per day)

When a spring breaks, the door may become immovable—or worse, slam down unexpectedly.

Signs You Need Garage Door Spring Repair

  • Loud bang from the garage (Often when the spring snaps)
  • Garage door won’t open

(By hand or with the opener)

  • Door feels extremely heavy

(Springs no longer support the weight)

  • Door rises a few inches then drops (Opener can’t lift it without tension support)
  • Crooked door or jerky movement

(One spring has failed while the other is still under tension)

  • Visible gap in the torsion spring coil (Indicates a break in the center)

If you see or hear any of these signs, stop operating the door and call our team right away.

Types of Garage Door Springs We Replace

Torsion Springs

Located above the door, torsion springs provide smooth, even lifting motion. They’re safer and more efficient than extension springs and are common in modern garage door systems.

We offer

  • Standard cycle torsion springs (10,000–15,000 cycles)
  • High-cycle upgrades (20,000–30,000 cycles)
  • Dual-spring configurations for heavy doors
  • Custom-sizing for oversized or commercial doors

Extension Springs

Located on either side of the door, extension springs stretch and contract as the door moves. They’re often found on older or lighter-weight doors.

We install

  • Matched high-cycle extension springs
  • Safety cable systems to prevent injury
  • Calibrated pair replacements for balance

FAQs About Spring Repairs

Can I replace just one spring?

Yes, but we often recommend replacing both if they were installed at the same time. It ensures balance and prevents future issues.

How long do garage door springs last?

Standard springs last 7–10 years depending on use. High-cycle springs can last 15+ years.

Will my opener work after spring replacement?

Yes, and it’ll run better! A properly tensioned spring reduces strain on your opener, extending its life.

What if my door uses an unusual spring size?

We carry most sizes and can order custom-length springs within 1–2 days if needed.
