Garage doors rarely fail at a convenient time. If you need broken garage door spring repair in your area, we can often come out the same day when a technician is available. Fast replacement of broken torsion or extension springs, sized to your door's weight.

Safety first: springs and cables hold hundreds of pounds of tension. Don't try to adjust or remove them yourself, and don't run the opener on a door that's crooked or has a broken spring.

When to call for broken garage door spring repair

  • A loud bang from the garage, like a gunshot
  • A visible gap in the coils of the spring above the door
  • The door feels extremely heavy or won't lift more than a few inches
  • The opener strains, hums or the door reverses right away
  • Cables hanging loose from the drums

Common causes

  • Springs reaching the end of their cycle life (usually about 10,000 cycles)
  • Rust on the coils, which adds friction and stress
  • Springs that were the wrong size for the door
  • Cold weather making worn steel more brittle

Before the technician arrives

  • Don't use the opener. It can strip gears or pull the door off track.
  • Don't try to lift the door by hand. Without a working spring it may weigh 130 to 250 pounds or more.
  • Look, but don't touch: a broken torsion spring shows a clear gap in the coils.
  • Keep the door closed and keep children and pets away from it.

Broken Garage Door Spring Repair: frequently asked questions

How much does broken garage door spring repair cost?

Broken Garage Door Spring Repair typically costs $200-$450 including parts and labor, and usually takes 1-2 hours. The exact price depends on your door and the parts it needs, and you get it before any work starts. Call (833) 435-8883 for a quote.

Can you do broken garage door spring repair the same day?

Often, yes. When a technician is available we can usually come the same day, and common parts are carried on the truck. Doors that won't close or have a broken spring are treated as priority calls, and emergency service is available.

Is broken garage door spring repair covered by a warranty?

Our work comes with a 90-day labor warranty on repairs. New parts and doors also carry the manufacturer's warranty. Ask for the warranty details in writing with your quote.

Are your technicians licensed and insured?

Our technicians are insured, and where your state or city requires a contractor license for garage door work, the job is done under that license. You're welcome to ask for proof when you book.

Should I repair or replace my garage door?

A good rule of thumb: if the repair costs more than about 50% of a replacement, or the garage door is near the end of its life, replace it. A garage door typically lasts 15 to 30 years. If several panels are damaged, the door is rusted through or rotted, or parts are discontinued, replacing it is often better value. Springs are the exception: a broken spring is always replaced, never repaired. Our free repair vs. replace calculator can help you compare.
