Garage Door Spring Repair

Springs do the lifting. A garage door can weigh well over a hundred pounds, and the springs counterbalance that weight so a motor, or you, can raise it easily. When one breaks, the door becomes heavy and unsafe to operate.

We replace torsion and extension springs matched to your door's actual weight, in pairs where appropriate, and then balance the door. It is a job that demands the right tools and training, which is why we advise against doing it yourself. Nashville homeowners are often surprised how quiet and smooth the door feels afterward.

FAQ

Common questions about spring repair & replacement

How long do garage door springs last?

Standard springs are commonly rated around ten thousand cycles, so a busy household may wear them out sooner than a quiet one. Higher-cycle springs are available.

Can I open the door manually with a broken spring?

It is not advisable. The door is heavy and may fall. Please call us rather than forcing it.

Should both springs be replaced?

Usually yes when there are two. The other spring has seen the same use and is likely close to the end of its life.
