We Repair All Garage Door Spring Types
There are two major garage door spring types: torsion and extension. Both types use a counterbalance system with the other garage door parts to lift and lower the overhead door. We offer both torsion spring replacement and extension spring replacement to serve the unique needs of your garage door system.
Torsion Garage Door Springs
Torsion springs use torque or rotating force to counterbalance your garage door’s weight and cause it to move. They are typically installed horizontally above the garage door in the center of the door’s opening. Many customers choose to upgrade their garage door with a torsion spring conversion because torsion springs last up to 15,000 cycles of opening and closing your garage door.
Extension Garage Door Springs
Extension springs are attached to the cables, expanding and retracting as the door opens and closes, also in a counterbalance system. This garage door spring type is installed on either side of your overhead door, stretching vertically. Extension springs aren’t as popular as torsion springs because they have a shorter lifespan of 10,000 cycles.

Common Garage Door Spring Repair Questions
How do I know if my garage door spring needs to be repaired or replaced?
If you have a 2-4 inch gap between the coils of your spring or you hear a loud snapping noise from your garage, you likely have a broken garage door spring. In this case, you’ll need a full garage door spring replacement to restore the function of your overhead door. However, if your garage door operates loudly or slowly, you may just need a maintenance appointment to restore your overhead door to its best function.
Do garage door springs need maintenance?
Yes, we recommend scheduling annual garage door maintenance for springs and the entire overhead door system. Because springs are made of metal, they need regular lubrication to prevent friction and rust. Garage door maintenance also ensures you have a quiet and reliable garage door.
How long do garage door springs last?
With proper maintenance, garage door springs should last 8-12 years. You can extend the life of your springs by converting to a torsion spring system and scheduling annual maintenance.
