Garage doors are one of the most important entry points in any home, which means they must remain strong, balanced, and fully functional to keep intruders out and ensure safe daily operation. One of the most critical components of any garage door system is the spring system, which counterbalances the door’s weight and allows it to open and close smoothly.
Over time, garage door springs wear out and require replacement. Regular maintenance and timely spring replacement help prevent sudden failures, costly damage, and safety risks.
Garage door springs are under extreme tension. When a spring weakens or breaks, the door can become:
Difficult or impossible to open
Noisy or jerky during operation
Dangerous due to sudden drops or imbalance
Worn or failing springs also put extra strain on the garage door opener, shortening its lifespan.
You may need professional garage door spring replacement if you notice:
The door struggles to open or close smoothly
The garage door opener strains or stops mid-cycle
Springs appear stretched, separated, or sagging
Loud snapping or banging sounds
Uneven door movement or imbalance
If springs appear separated when the door is closed—or sag when the door is open—it’s a strong indication they are worn and unsafe.
Many older garage doors use a single-spring system, which places all the door’s weight on one spring. Upgrading to a two-spring system helps distribute the load evenly, resulting in:
Smoother operation
Reduced stress on components
Longer spring lifespan
Improved safety
A professional technician can determine whether your system can be safely upgraded and install the correct spring configuration.
While it’s helpful to understand how garage door springs work, spring replacement should never be attempted by homeowners. These components store massive amounts of energy, and improper handling can cause serious injury or death.
Professional technicians:
Measure springs accurately without removing them
Select the correct spring type, size, and torque rating
Safely remove and install springs using proper tools
Balance and test the door for safe operation
Although springs eventually wear out, their lifespan can be extended with routine maintenance, including:
Bi-annual cleaning
Proper lubrication of springs and moving parts
System balance checks
Preventative maintenance reduces wear, improves performance, and minimizes emergency repairs.
