TRUSTED GARAGE DOOR GEEKS

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.

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.
