Broken spring? That loud bang was the door telling you.

Garage door springs do the heavy lifting. When one breaks, the opener cannot safely lift the door and the door cannot be trusted to stay up. We replace springs matched to your door's exact weight and balance, and we replace them in pairs when the door was built for pairs.

Sounds familiar?

He showed me the snapped spring on his phone before he said a word about price. Three options, all written down. I picked the middle one and the door was running in under an hour.

Garage door repair
Two other companies told me I needed a new door. Garage Door Corps found a frayed cable and a bent track bracket. Fixed both. The photos made it obvious they were right.

Maintenance & tune-up
I got a written report with pictures of every part they checked, including the ones that were fine. Nobody has ever done that for me on any home repair.

Opener replacement
The opener was the problem, but he tested the door balance first to prove it. New belt-drive is silent and the app works. Clean truck, clean uniform, on time.

Spring Replacement questions

Asked often.

  • If your door uses two torsion springs, they were installed at the same time and have the same cycle wear. Replacing both avoids a second service call soon after. We will show you the wear on the second spring and let you decide.

  • We recommend you do not. The opener is not designed to lift the full weight of the door and can be damaged, and a door with a broken spring can drop unexpectedly.

  • Most spring replacements are complete in about an hour, including the full-system inspection and rebalancing.

Door won’t open?
Don’t force it.

A door with a broken spring weighs a few hundred pounds with nothing holding it. Leave it, pull the emergency release only if you know how, and call. We will tell you honestly when we can be there and what the visit will cost before we roll.
