Hiring the wrong garage door company is expensive twice

A garage door is the heaviest moving object in your home, under enough spring tension to break a wrist. The wrong contractor does not just do a poor job, they leave you paying for it again.

Choosing the wrong installer leads to:

  • A spring wound to the wrong size that snaps again within a year
  • Aftermarket parts that quietly void your manufacturer warranty
  • A service call that becomes a bill before anything is diagnosed
  • An unlicensed installer, and no insurance if someone is hurt on your property

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the primary warning signs that a garage door spring is about to break?

Warning signs include visible gaps in the coil, a loud bang, the door feeling heavy, or the opener straining and stopping halfway during operation.

Why is it dangerous to attempt a garage door spring repair without professional tools?

Garage door springs are under extreme tension. Attempting repairs without professional tools can lead to sudden spring snaps, causing severe physical injury or significant property damage. Always hire experts.

How can I tell the difference between a broken torsion spring and an extension spring?

Torsion springs are mounted horizontally above the door, while extension springs run along the side tracks. Look for visible gaps or snaps in these specific locations to identify breakage.

Is it necessary to replace both garage door springs if only one of them has snapped?

Yes, it is highly recommended to replace both. Since springs have the same lifespan, the second is likely to break soon, and replacing both ensures a balanced, safe door.

How long do high-cycle replacement springs typically last compared to standard springs?

High-cycle springs typically last 20,000 to 50,000 cycles, doubling or tripling the 10,000-cycle lifespan of standard springs, providing much greater long-term value and reliability for your door.

Why does my garage door opener struggle or stop halfway when a spring is broken?

A broken spring forces the opener to lift the door's full weight. The motor struggles and stops to prevent damage from this excessive, unbalanced load.
