Frequently Asked Questions
How to get an accurate price for a spring repair?
The most accurate price comes from a quick on-site check because spring pricing depends on door weight and correct spring size, not just “single vs double.”
To lock in an accurate quote, we confirm:
• door size + insulation/weight
• spring type and correct dimensions
• whether one or two springs are needed
• any required safety parts (cables/bearings)
After that, we confirm the price before we start the repair.

Is it safe to open the garage door with a broken spring?
Not safely. The door can be extremely heavy and may slam shut. If you must move it, do it with two adults and extreme caution—but best practice is to leave it closed and schedule repair.
Should I replace one spring or both?
If your door uses two springs, replacing both is usually the best move. Springs are installed as a pair and share the same wear. If one snaps, the other is usually only days or weeks away from failing.
How long do garage door springs last?
Garage door springs don’t wear out by age alone—they wear out based on how often the door is used. Springs are rated in cycles, where one cycle means the door opens and closes once. Standard springs are typically rated for about 10,000 cycles, while high-cycle springs can last 20,000 cycles or more. For a home that uses the garage door 1–2 times per day, springs may last 10–15 years; 3–4 times per day, about 7–10 years. Homes that use the garage as a main entrance will usually wear out springs faster, while upgrading to high-cycle springs can significantly extend their lifespan.
Will a broken spring damage my opener?
It can. If the opener keeps trying to lift a dead-weight door, it can strip gears or burn out. Stop using the opener until the spring is fixed.
Can you repair a spring, or does it have to be replaced?
A broken spring must be replaced, not repaired. Once it snaps, it’s done.
What’s the difference between torsion and extension springs?
– Torsion springs sit above the door on a metal shaft (most common on modern setups).
– Extension springs run along the horizontal tracks (more common on older doors).
We service both.
Do new springs come with a warranty?
All garage door springs we install come with a 2-year warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal residential use.
