Broken Garage Door Spring Repair in Bay Harbor Islands, FL

Garage Door Spring Repair in Miami-Dade

Garage door springs do the heavy lifting. Every time your door opens or closes, the springs absorb and release tension to counterbalance the door's weight. Over time, that constant stress causes them to wear out and eventually snap.

When a spring breaks, the door typically becomes very difficult or impossible to lift. In some cases you will hear a loud bang when it happens. A garage door without working springs should not be operated until it is repaired.

Types of Springs We Replace

Torsion springs mounted above the door on a horizontal shaft
Extension springs mounted along the sides of the door tracks
Double torsion spring systems on heavier doors

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

We strongly advise against it. Garage door springs are under extreme tension and can cause serious injury if handled incorrectly. This is one job that requires the right tools and experience.

Most residential springs are rated for around 10,000 cycles. Depending on how often you use your door, this typically translates to seven to ten years of normal use.

If your door uses two springs, we typically recommend replacing both at the same time. When one breaks, the other is usually near the end of its life as well.
