A broken spring is the most common reason a garage door won't open — and one of the most dangerous repairs to attempt without training. Our techs carry the most common torsion and extension spring sizes and can usually complete the job within an hour of arrival.
A broken garage door spring is the most common cause of a door that won't open. Springs store a massive amount of energy, and attempting to repair them without proper training and tools is genuinely dangerous — it's one of the leading causes of garage door-related injuries.
Door & Roll technicians are trained in safe spring removal, sizing, and installation. We carry both torsion and extension springs in the most common sizes and can often complete the repair within an hour of arrival. If cables are also damaged, we handle both in the same visit — see our garage door cable repair service.
Torsion springs mount horizontally above the door and are the most common type in modern homes. We replace both springs at once.
Extension springs run along the horizontal tracks. We replace them with safety cables installed to prevent injury if they snap.
The right spring matters — wrong cycle ratings and wire gauges cause premature failure. We size springs precisely.
Operating a door with a broken spring strains your opener and can cause further damage. Call us for same-day service.
