Broken Springs. Expert Attention.
Garage door springs counterbalance the weight of the door. When a spring fails, the opener may struggle, the door may look crooked, or you may hear a loud bang.
Because garage door springs operate under extreme tension, do not try to adjust or replace them yourself. Garage Door Geeks can inspect the system and discuss appropriate repairs.
- Torsion springs
- Extension springs
- Door balance checks
- Spring wear

COMMON QUESTIONS
Broken Spring Repair FAQs
How can I tell if my garage door spring is broken?
A loud bang, a visible gap in a torsion spring, or a door that feels unusually heavy can be signs of a broken spring. A technician can confirm the cause.
Is it safe to open a garage door with a broken spring?
Do not operate a garage door with a suspected broken spring. The door may be very heavy and could fall or damage the opener.
Can I replace a garage door spring myself?
Spring systems are under extreme tension and can cause serious injuries. Spring replacement should be performed by a trained professional.
Do both springs need to be replaced?
YES both Springs need replaced. All doors over the width of 10’ (double door) generally require 2 springs. Single wide doors generally only require one spring.
