Signs Your Garage Door Spring Is Broken
A broken spring is one of the most common garage door problems. Here's how to tell — and what to do.
Loud bang from the garage
You heard a sound like a firecracker or gunshot from the garage. That's the spring snapping under tension. The door is now too heavy for the opener to lift — and dangerous to try manually.
Door won't open at all
The opener runs but the door doesn't budge, or it only lifts a few inches. Without the spring's counterbalance, the door weighs too much to move. The spring needs to be replaced.
Door is extremely heavy
You pulled the emergency release and tried to lift the door manually — it's dangerously heavy. A working spring balances the door's weight. A broken spring means the full weight is on you.
Opener is straining or burned out
The opener struggles, groans, or hums but can't lift the door. Trying to force the opener with a broken spring can burn out the motor. Stop using it and call us before the opener is damaged too.
Visible gap in the spring
You can see a visible gap or separation in the torsion spring above the door. That's where it snapped. The spring needs to be replaced before the door can be used safely again.
Door is uneven or crooked
One side of the door is higher than the other, or the cables are slack on one side. This can happen when a spring breaks and the door's balance is thrown off. We fix the spring and realign the door.

What Happens If You Ignore It
A broken garage door spring is dangerous to ignore — and even more dangerous to try to fix yourself.
DIY spring replacement is extremely dangerous
Garage door springs are under hundreds of pounds of tension. Improper handling can cause the spring to snap violently, leading to serious injury or death. This is one repair you should never attempt yourself.
Forcing the opener burns out the motor
When a spring breaks, the door is too heavy for the opener to lift. If you keep trying to use the opener, the motor will strain and eventually burn out — turning a spring replacement into a full opener replacement.
The door can crash down unexpectedly
A door with a broken spring is unstable. It can slip, fall, or crash down without warning — potentially damaging your car, injuring someone, or destroying the door panels.
The second spring is about to break too
If your door has two springs and one broke, the other is likely near the end of its life — they were installed at the same time and wear at the same rate. Ignoring it means another breakdown is coming.
How We Solve It
Our technicians use professional tools and techniques to resolve the problem quickly and correctly.
Torsion Spring Replacement
We replace broken torsion springs with correctly rated, high-quality springs matched to your door's weight. Torsion springs are under extreme tension — only a trained professional should replace them.
Extension Spring Replacement
For doors with extension springs on the sides, we replace broken springs with correctly rated replacements. We also install safety cables to prevent a snapped spring from causing damage.
Door Balance & Calibration
After replacing the spring, we balance and calibrate the door so it opens and closes smoothly. A properly balanced door puts less strain on the opener and lasts longer.
Opener Inspection
If the opener was straining against the broken spring, we inspect it for damage. If the motor or drive gear is worn, we repair or replace it so your opener works like new.
Safety Inspection
We inspect the entire system — springs, cables, rollers, tracks, and opener — and recommend any needed repairs. A broken spring often means other parts are nearing the end of their life too.
Preventive Spring Replacement
If one spring broke, the other is likely close behind — they're usually installed at the same time. We can replace both springs to prevent a second breakdown and save you another service call.
