DANGER: Do Not Operate Door with Broken Spring
A garage door with a broken spring is EXTREMELY dangerous. The door weighs 200-400 lbs and has no counterbalance weight. Attempting to open can cause:
- • Serious injury from door falling or crushing
- • Permanent damage to garage door opener (burned motor, stripped gears)
- • Bent tracks, damaged panels, broken rollers
- • Additional repair costs (what could be $250 becomes $800+)
Call for emergency repair - don't make it worse by trying to "force it open."
Signs Your Spring Broke
What to Expect - Emergency Spring Replacement Process
Call Immediately
Describe symptoms (loud bang, won't open, gap in spring). We'll dispatch nearest technician - 60-90 minute ETA provided.
Technician Arrival
Inspect spring type (torsion/extension), measure door, verify both springs need replacement. Explain repair and provide upfront quote ($200-$350 typical).
Spring Replacement (45-90 Minutes)
Remove old springs (under tension - dangerous DIY), install NEW high-cycle springs (25,000+ cycles), adjust balance, lubricate, test operation. We replace BOTH springs for safety.
Testing & Warranty
Test door operation (manual and opener), verify balance, adjust limit switches. Lifetime warranty on springs. Door works perfectly before we leave.
Why We Replace BOTH Springs
Even if only one spring broke, we ALWAYS recommend replacing both springs at the same time. Here's why:
Same Age = Same Wear
If one spring broke, the other has identical wear and will break within days/weeks. You'll pay for two service calls instead of one.
Unbalanced Door is Dangerous
Mixing old and new springs creates unbalanced door - wears opener, causes premature failure, creates safety hazard.
Better Value
Replacing both costs $200-$350 total. Replacing one now ($150) then paying second service call in 2 weeks ($150) = $300+ plus inconvenience.
Lifetime Warranty
Both springs covered by lifetime warranty when replaced together. We use high-cycle springs (25,000+ cycles) rated for 15-20 years.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my garage door spring broke?
Signs of broken spring: loud bang or snap sound, door won't open or extremely heavy to lift, gap in spring (torsion) or spring hanging loose (extension), door opens 6-12 inches then stops, opener motor runs but door doesn't move. If you see/hear any of these - DO NOT try to operate the door. Call immediately for emergency repair.
How fast can you replace a broken spring?

Can I open my garage door with a broken spring?
NO! Never try to operate a garage door with broken spring. Torsion springs: door weighs 200-400 lbs without working spring - attempting to open can cause serious injury or damage opener. Extension springs: broken spring means one side lifts while other doesn't - door will bind in tracks and cause damage. Use emergency release to manually lift ONLY if absolutely necessary and you have help.
How much does emergency spring replacement cost?
Emergency broken spring replacement: $200-$350 for most residential doors (includes both springs, labor, adjustment, testing). We replace BOTH springs even if only one broke - second spring is at end of life and will break soon. Lifetime warranty on springs. Same price 24/7 - no after-hours surcharge.
Why did my garage door spring break?
Springs break due to: normal wear (7-10 year lifespan, 10,000-15,000 cycles for standard springs), cold weather (springs contract and weaken), rust/corrosion (moisture damage), poor maintenance (lack of lubrication), or manufacturing defect (rare). Most breaks occur during temperature changes (cold mornings). It's not your fault - springs have finite lifespan.
Will my garage door opener be damaged?
If you didn't try to operate the door after spring broke, opener is likely fine. If you repeatedly tried to open door with broken spring, opener may be damaged (burned motor, stripped gears). We inspect opener during spring replacement and advise if repairs needed. Most openers survive if not overused after spring failure.
