Garage Door Spring Replacement
Fort Lauderdale & South Florida

The clearest signs are a loud snap or bang from the garage, a door that won't open or opens only a few inches, visible gaps in the coil of a torsion spring, or a door that hangs unevenly. If you press the emergency release and the door is extremely heavy, a spring has likely failed.

No. Operating a door with a broken spring puts extreme strain on the opener motor (which can burn out), strains the cables (which can snap), and creates a serious crush hazard if the door falls. Disconnect the opener and call us immediately.

Most torsion spring replacements are completed in 60–90 minutes. If cables or drums also need replacement, plan for 90–120 minutes. We arrive stocked so no second trip is needed.

Yes, and we strongly recommend it. Springs age together — if one breaks, the other is typically near the end of its rated life. Replacing both at once costs only slightly more than replacing one, and prevents a second service call within weeks.

Torsion springs are mounted horizontally above the door on a metal shaft and work by twisting to store energy. Extension springs run along the horizontal tracks on each side and work by stretching. Both have the same job — counterbalancing the door's weight — but torsion springs are more durable, safer, and are standard on most modern doors.

Yes. All spring replacements include a 1-year parts and labor warranty. High-cycle spring upgrades come with extended coverage proportional to their rated cycle count.

Pricing depends on the door size, spring type, and whether cables or drums also need service. We provide a free, no-obligation estimate before any work begins. Call 866-777-4770 or request a quote online.
