Signs Your Garage Door Spring Is Broken

Garage door springs are under tremendous tension and eventually wear out after thousands of open-and-close cycles. If you notice any of these symptoms, stop using the garage door until it has been inspected.

Why Garage Door Springs Matter

Many projects can be scheduled quickly and completed in a single visit.

Replacing a broken spring quickly can prevent more expensive repairs later.

Torsion Spring Repair

Torsion springs are mounted above the garage door opening and provide smooth, balanced lifting. These are the most common residential spring systems.

  • Single torsion springs
  • Dual torsion springs

Should You Replace One Spring or Both?

We'll explain your options and help you choose the solution that best fits your needs.

Restoration Frequently Asked Questions

How long do garage door springs last?

Most standard garage door springs last between 10,000 and 15,000 open-and-close cycles. Homes that use the garage as the primary entrance may wear springs out faster than homes with lighter use.

It's generally not recommended. The door may be extremely heavy, difficult to control, and can damage your garage door opener if forced.

Most spring failures are caused by normal wear and tear after thousands of operating cycles. Rust, poor maintenance, and extreme temperature changes can also shorten a spring's lifespan.

A visible gap in the spring, a loud snapping noise, or a garage door that suddenly becomes very heavy are all common signs of a broken spring.

If your garage door has two springs and one breaks, replacing both is often recommended because they usually wear out at similar rates.
