Common Signs Your Garage Door Springs
Need Repair
Ignoring spring issues can lead to costly damage or injury. Watch for these warning signs:
- The door doesn’t open or close fully
- A sudden loud bang from the garage (often indicating a snap)
- The door feels extremely heavy when lifted manually
- The opener strains or fails to lift the door
- Visible gaps or stretching in the spring coils
- Uneven or jerky movement during operation
If you spot any of these, stop using the door immediately and contact us. Continuing to operate it risks further damage or serious injury.
Types of Garage Door Springs
We Service
Our technicians are experts in repairing and replacing both main types of springs:
- Torsion Springs: Mounted horizontally above the door opening, these twist to store energy and provide consistent, balanced lifting. They’re common in modern garage doors for their smooth performance and durability.
- Extension Springs: Positioned along the horizontal tracks on either side, these stretch to counterbalance the door. Often found in older or lighter-weight systems.
We stock high-cycle springs designed for extended lifespan and superior performance.
