Instead, rely on our skilled garage door technicians to ensure the security of you and your loved ones.
Understanding Garage Door Springs
Garage door springs play a crucial role in safely opening and closing your garage door by balancing its weight. When you open the door, the springs store energy to make it easier to lift. As you close it, the stored energy is released, ensuring a smooth and gentle closure.
When a spring is broken, it can throw off the balance of your garage door, making it harder to open and close. As a result, the other parts of the system have to work harder to function properly whenever you use the door.
Types of Garage Door Springs
Whether you have torsion or extension springs — or aren’t sure which you have — our technicians can repair or replace them safely.
Torsion Springs
Torsion springs are mounted above the door opening and they use torque to lift the door. It is highly recommended not to attempt fixing or replacing torsion springs on your garage door by yourself. Due to their tightly wound nature, torsion springs are hazardous and challenging to repair. Mishandling them can result in severe injuries. Our team possesses the necessary skills and tools to replace your damaged torsion spring with a new one safely.

Extension Springs
Located on either side of the door, these stretch and contract to lift the door. They are generally less dangerous to handle than torsion springs, but our team of experts can fix the damage and adjust their tensions to guarantee that your garage door operates smoothly and evenly.
Garage Door Spring Replacement
Garage door springs with minor damage can usually be repaired, but if there is extensive damage to one or more springs, replacement will be necessary.
