Your garage door springs won’t last forever, and it’s enough for just one of them to snap to render your door. Find out how we can assist you with that and information about the types of springs below.
Does The Kind Of Spring Matter?
When it comes to whether or not we can take care of it, not at all! Our professionals are deeply knowledgeable of both extension and torsion springs and can take care of either of them easily. However, knowing the difference between them and which you have can be helpful in being prepared for how much attention they may need over the years to keep working well. Extension springs usually require more tending to than torsion due to how they work. They’re pulled apart when the door closes to create and store energy to lift it the next time it needs to open. This constant stress of being stretched wears them down, so they break more frequently than torsion, which instead just twist to do this.
Excellent Replacement & Adjustment
No matter what type of spring you have, it’s going to wear down over time from constant use, and because of this eventually need to be replaced with a new one. It will be obvious when this time has come, as your door will have a difficult time opening and closing, if it can at all. When this happens, just let our experts know! We can safely and easily get them switched out with a new one and your door working like new again. Adjustments may also be required to get springs back into place, and we’d be happy to help.

Some Helpful Tidbits
How do I know what size garage door spring I need?
Every spring’s mounting comes with a torsion or holding cone with a little code printed or engraved into it. That code denotes the type and size of spring your system needs. There isn’t a uniform system for these codes, so check online or ask a nearby repair company or dealership what yours stands for and what it means.
Can a garage door without springs still work?
It can, depending on the weight of the door and the strength of the opener. But with that said, you should try to avoid using it as much as possible until you can get some new springs installed. The springs take an immense burden off of the opener and cables, and every time you open or close the door without them you’re putting a dangerous amount of stress on those other components.
Can you tell me how to open a garage door with a broken spring?
Sometimes a garage door will continue to work, albeit imperfectly and at the expense of other components, with a broken spring. Sometimes, it will not, and then you’ll need to get it open the hard way. You’ll need the help of at least one other person, some crowbars, and a pair of stepladders that you can use to brace the door open with. This is labor intensive and temporary solution; get new springs ASAP.
