Broken Spring Replacement
A snapped spring is the most common reason a garage door suddenly won't open. The opener strains, the door feels like it weighs a ton, and sometimes you heard a bang in the garage. We replace the spring with one sized to your door, then balance the door so it lifts smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I open my door with a broken spring?
It's not recommended. The spring does the lifting, so without it the door is very heavy and can drop. Leave it closed if you can and call us.
Should both springs be replaced?
On doors with two torsion springs, they usually wear at the same rate, so replacing both is often the better value. We'll explain the options and the price for each before any work.
