Broken Garage Door Spring Repair and Replacement

Whether you’ve broken a spring on a single door or have several doors causing you problems, we can dispatch a truck and experienced service technician to repair your door springs once and for all. Our durable springs are made of oil-tempered steel rather than galvanized steel. This means that they are more durable and resist rust (most galvanized springs are cheaply made and last only a few years).

As part of our commitment to quality, we also always ensure that we only stock garage door springs with a higher-than-average cycle-life rating. (One “cycle” is up, then down). Garage door torsion springs can have a cycle life as low as 8,000 cycles, but ours average 60,000 cycles — plus, they are backed by a 4-year warranty! We also carry high-cycle springs (rated at 80k – 100k cycles). We offer these high-cycle springs with a lifetime warranty.

Garage Door Extension Spring Repair and Replacement

Without functional garage door extension springs, your door can’t properly open and close since these springs counterbalance the weight of the door. That’s why we’re always available for garage door spring repair, installation, and replacement. Not having these springs fixed properly can compromise the safety and performance of your entire opener system, so it’s best to schedule repair or replacement as soon as you notice something seems wrong with your door.

Signs You May Have a Broken Garage Door Spring

How do you know you need garage door spring repair or replacement? It can be hard to make the call if you aren’t sure what to look for. To help you out, we’ve collected five major signs that torsion springs for garage doors may need to be replaced:

Your door closes randomly. Does your garage door open, then suddenly slide closed with no warning? You may have a broken or failing spring on your hands. Stop using the door and have the spring system inspected.

You’ve noticed opener problems. Does your opener strain or struggle more than usual? This may be your system aging, but it can also be a red flag that you have a spring issue.

Your door feels “heavy.” The whole point of garage door springs is to make your door easier to open. If your door suddenly feels heavier, your springs may not be doing their job.

You’re having manual opening issues. If you can’t manually open your door into a midway position without it falling closed, the counterbalancing effects that your springs provide may be faltering. This can indicate worn or broken springs.

You hear strange popping sounds. Did you hear a suspicious “pop” or “snap” the last time you closed or opened the door? Watch out. That noise might have been a spring breaking.

FAQs

What warranty comes with garage door spring replacement?

Ohana’s standard springs include a four-year warranty, while qualifying high-cycle springs include a lifetime warranty. If a covered spring fails during its warranty period, Ohana will replace the spring at no charge, but the regular service-call fee still applies. If one covered spring fails on a two-spring system, both springs will be replaced.

How much does garage door spring repair cost?

The cost depends on the type and number of springs needed, the door’s weight and configuration, and the condition of the cables and related hardware. Ohana will inspect the spring system and explain the recommended repair before starting the work.

Should both garage door springs be replaced if only one breaks?

For a two-spring system, replacing both springs is often recommended because they were installed together and have completed roughly the same number of cycles. Leaving the older spring in place may lead to another service call soon after the first repair. Our technician can inspect both springs and recommend the best approach based on their age, condition, and cycle rating.

Can I open my garage door with a broken spring?

You should avoid operating the garage door or running the opener when a spring is broken. Without the spring properly counterbalancing its weight, the door may be extremely heavy, move unevenly, or fall unexpectedly. Continuing to use it can also damage the opener, cables, or other hardware.
