Broken Garage
Door Spring Repair

A broken garage door spring can prevent your door from opening or closing.

It’s a common but dangerous issue. Avoid DIY fixes – springs are under high tension and need professional repair

Garage door springs handle the heavy lifting every time your door operates. If a spring breaks, acting quickly can prevent further system damage. Common signs of a broken spring include:

  • The door won’t open or lifts only a few inches

  • Loud snapping sound from the garage
  • Loose or hanging spring above the door

  • Door slams shut or feels extremely heavy

  • Gaps in the spring coils
