Garage Door Spring Repair in the East Bay

Fast, safe replacement of broken torsion and extension springs — usually same day.

Garage Door Spring Repair

A broken torsion or extension spring is the most common reason a garage door won't open. Springs carry the entire weight of the door and are under extreme tension — dangerous to replace yourself. Our technicians replace worn and snapped springs safely the same day, so you're never stuck for long.

Signs your spring is failing

The door is suddenly very heavy or won't open; you hear a loud "bang" from the garage; the door opens a few inches and stops; there's a visible gap in the coil; or the cables hang loose. Any of these means the spring needs professional replacement.

Torsion vs. extension springs

Torsion springs mount on a bar above the door and last longer; extension springs run along the tracks. We replace both, and recommend high-cycle springs that last significantly longer than builder-grade.

Why not DIY

A garage door spring stores enough energy to cause serious injury. Proper winding bars, the right spring size, and correct balancing are essential. This is the repair we most strongly recommend leaving to a pro.

Garage Door Spring Repair — FAQs

How long does a garage door spring last?

A standard spring is rated for about 10,000 cycles — roughly 7–9 years of normal use. High-cycle springs can last 2–3 times longer.

Should I replace both springs if only one broke?

On a two-spring door, yes. The second spring is the same age and will fail soon — replacing both saves a second service call and keeps the door balanced.

Can I open my garage door with a broken spring?

You should not. Without the spring the door can weigh 150–300 lbs and may slam shut. Disconnect the opener and call for same-day service.
