Why Garage Door Springs Break

Garage door springs operate under intense tension and are responsible for lifting the full weight of your door every time it opens or closes. Over time, that tension leads to wear and eventual breakage.

Common causes include:

If your spring breaks, it’s not your fault—it’s just physics. But the repair? That’s our job.

Signs You Have a Broken Garage Door Spring

Wondering whether it’s really a broken spring? Here are clear indicators:

Loud bang: You may hear a loud snap or pop in the garage when the spring breaks.
Door won’t open or closes too quickly: A failed spring leaves the opener struggling or completely ineffective.
Crooked or lopsided door: When one spring breaks, the door can tilt or jam in the tracks.
Gaps in the spring coil: A broken torsion spring will show a visible separation.
Loose or tangled cables: Broken springs often cause supporting cables to lose tension.

Important: Do not attempt to lift the door manually or fix the spring yourself. Call our experienced team instead.

Torsion vs. Extension Springs: What We Repair

There are two main types of garage door springs, and our technicians are fully equipped to service both:

Torsion Springs

These are mounted above the garage door and work by twisting tightly to generate lift. Torsion systems are highly durable and commonly used in modern garage doors.

Signs of torsion spring failure:

Extension Springs

These are mounted on either side of the door, stretching and contracting to assist with lift. They are often found in older garage door systems.

Signs of extension spring failure:

Not sure which you have? Don’t worry—we’ll identify it during our inspection and handle the repair on the spot.
