⚠️ EMERGENCY SPRING REPAIR: (786) 315-9238Warning Signs of a Broken Spring
A broken garage door spring is one of the most common and most dangerous garage door failures. Know these warning signs.
Loud Bang from the Garage
A sudden loud bang usually means a torsion spring has snapped. The stored energy releases instantly, creating a startling noise even when the door is not in use.
Door Won’t Open or Feels Extremely Heavy
Springs counterbalance the weight of your door (often 150-300+ lbs). Without a working spring, the opener cannot lift the door, or the door will only open 6 inches.
Visible Gap in the Spring Coils
Look at the spring bar above your door. If you see a visible gap or separation in the torsion spring coils, the spring has broken and needs immediate replacement.
Door Closes Too Fast or Crooked
If your door slams shut, closes unevenly, or appears crooked, one or both springs may be failing. This is a serious safety hazard requiring immediate attention.
Cables Are Loose or Hanging
When a spring breaks, the cables that lift the door often become loose or unwind from the drums. Loose cables tangled around the shaft indicate spring failure.
Types of Garage Door Springs We Service
We repair and replace all types of residential and commercial garage door springs with premium, high-cycle components.
Torsion Springs
Mounted on a steel shaft above the door opening, torsion springs use torque to lift the door. They are the industry standard for most residential and commercial garage doors.
- Standard torsion springs (10,000 cycle life)
- High-cycle torsion springs (25,000-100,000 cycles)
- Oil-tempered for maximum durability
- Available for doors up to 20 feet wide and 500+ lbs
- Dual-spring systems for balanced lifting
Extension Springs
Mounted along the horizontal tracks on each side of the door, extension springs stretch and contract to counterbalance the door weight. Common on older and lighter doors.
- Open-looped, double-looped and clipped ends
- Safety cables included with every install
- Matched pairs for even weight distribution
- Ideal for low-headroom garage configurations
- Upgrade path to torsion conversion available
Commercial / High-Cycle Springs
For warehouses, loading docks, and high-traffic commercial doors, we install heavy-duty springs rated for 50,000 to 100,000+ cycles of continuous daily operation.
- Heavy-gauge wire for extreme durability
- Rated for doors up to 24 feet wide
- Rolling door and sectional door springs
- Powder-coated corrosion resistance
- Custom sizing for any application
Our Spring Repair Process
Professional spring replacement done right, safely and efficiently by licensed technicians.
Diagnosis
We inspect the spring system, measure wire gauge, length, and inside diameter to ensure exact-match replacement.
Safe Release
Using professional winding bars, we safely release tension from the broken spring and remove it from the torsion bar.
Installation
New springs are installed, wound to the manufacturer-specified number of turns, and secured to the anchor bracket.
Balancing
We balance the door so it stays at any point when partially open, lubricate all moving parts, and test safety systems.
Safety Check
Full operational test including auto-reverse, photo-eye alignment, and opener force adjustment for safe daily operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does garage door spring repair cost?
Spring repair costs vary based on the type of spring (torsion vs. extension), the size and weight of your door, and whether one or both springs need replacement. Contact us at (786) 315-9238 for a free estimate with upfront pricing.
Can I replace a garage door spring myself?
We strongly advise against DIY spring replacement. Garage door springs are under extreme tension and can cause severe injury or death if mishandled. Always hire a licensed professional with proper tools and training.
How long do garage door springs last?
Standard torsion springs are rated for approximately 10,000 cycles. For a household that opens their door 4 times daily, that is about 7 years. High-cycle springs rated at 25,000-50,000 cycles can last 15-25 years.
Should I replace both springs at the same time?
Yes, we strongly recommend replacing both springs simultaneously. If one spring has broken, the other is likely near the end of its lifespan. Replacing both ensures balanced operation and prevents a second service call.
Do you offer emergency same-day spring repair?
Absolutely. We offer same-day emergency spring repair across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Monroe County counties. Call (786) 315-9238 for immediate service.
What is the difference between torsion and extension springs?
Torsion springs mount on a bar above the door and use twisting force to lift. Extension springs mount along the horizontal tracks and stretch to counterbalance weight. Torsion springs are generally safer, longer-lasting, and provide smoother operation.
