Springs are the reason a garage door that weighs as much as a big piece of furniture can be lifted by hand or by a small motor. When a spring breaks, the door suddenly feels like it is bolted to the floor. We repair and replace garage door springs for homes and businesses across the Huntington area and surrounding cities.
The springs do the lifting. The opener only guides the door up and down. When the springs are sized and tensioned correctly, the door is balanced: lift it by hand to halfway and it stays there. When springs wear out, the opener has to carry weight it was never built for, and parts start failing elsewhere.
There are two main types, and we work on both:
Our explainer on why garage door springs break covers how each type wears and what speeds it up.
This is the one garage door job we always tell homeowners to leave alone. Springs hold the weight of the door under high tension. Torsion springs are wound by hand with winding bars, and a slip can release that stored energy in an instant. Extension springs can snap and fly if they are not contained. Cables, drums and bottom brackets carry the same load.
If you suspect a broken spring, do this instead:
We match the new springs to your door's weight and size, because a spring sized for a different door will leave it heavy, fast, or out of balance. We inspect the cables, drums and bearings while we are there, since a spring failure often wears those parts too. After the new springs are installed and tensioned, we test the balance by hand, lubricate the moving parts, and run the door with the opener to make sure the safety reverse works.
Freeze and thaw winters in the Ohio River valley are hard on garage door hardware. Cold steel is less forgiving, and rust from humid summers weakens spring coils over time. A worn spring often lets go on the first cold morning of the season. Lubricating the springs and checking balance in the fall can catch problems early. Our winter garage door checklist shows what to look at.
A broken spring often hurts other parts of the system. If the door came off its track or a cable snapped, see garage door repair. If the opener has been straining to lift a heavy door, it may need attention too: see garage door opener repair and installation. And if the door itself is past its prime, garage door installation covers your options.

Common signs are a loud bang from the garage, a visible gap in a torsion spring above the door, a door that opens only a few inches, a door that feels very heavy, or cables hanging loose. A stretched or dangling extension spring along the side tracks is another giveaway.
It is not safe to try. Without the spring, the full weight of the door is on you or on the opener. Leave the door closed if you can, unplug the opener, and call for service.
Torsion springs sit on a shaft above the door and twist to lift it. Extension springs run along the horizontal tracks on each side and stretch to lift it. Many homes have torsion springs, while some older or lighter doors use extension springs.
When a door has two springs, they have usually worked the same number of cycles, so when one breaks the other is often close behind. Replacing both keeps the door balanced and can save a second visit.
Cold makes steel less forgiving, and a spring that is already worn is more likely to give out on a cold morning when it takes its first load of the day. The cold does not cause the wear, but it often exposes it.
