Broken Spring? Here's What to Do
Garage door springs counterbalance the full weight of the door — often 150 to 250 pounds. When a torsion spring breaks you may see a visible gap in the coil; extension springs can snap along the horizontal track. Either way, the opener cannot safely raise the door.
Do not attempt DIY spring replacement. Winding torsion springs requires proper bars, sizing, and training — stored energy can cause serious injury.
Garage Guys measures door weight and height, installs matched springs, balances the door, and recalibrates opener limits. Most spring replacements in Orange County finish in under two hours with parts on the truck.
If one of two torsion springs broke, we recommend replacing both so tension stays even and the door does not drift crooked.
Typical Orange County spring jobs take one to two hours including balance testing — you get the total price before we begin winding.
