What to expect with torsion spring repair
From the moment your spring snaps to a working door - here is exactly what happens.
Torsion spring failure
A torsion spring snaps without warning - often heard as a loud bang from the garage. The coil splits under extreme tension, and the door immediately becomes too heavy for the opener to lift. The opener motor may strain, trip, or cycle endlessly while the door sits still.
Do not try to force the door open manually. A door without spring support weighs 150-300 lbs and can fall without warning.
Professional replacement
Our technicians use specialized winding bars to safely release stored tension, remove the failed spring, and install a new high-cycle spring calibrated to your door's exact weight. We replace both springs in every job - the second spring wears at the same rate and will fail shortly after the first.
High-cycle springs rated for 25,000+ cycles - double the life of standard hardware-store springs.
Testing and warranty
After installation, we wind the springs to precise tension for your door weight and run a full balance test. The door should hold at the halfway point without drifting. Auto-reverse and safety sensors are verified before we leave. You receive lifetime warranty documentation on the new springs.
Lifetime spring warranty - if a spring we install ever breaks, we replace it at no parts cost.
Also available: extension spring repair, 24/7 emergency service, and annual tune-up to extend spring life.

Torsion spring repair questions
How long do torsion springs last?
Standard torsion springs last 10,000-15,000 cycles (about 7-10 years). Our high-cycle springs are rated for 25,000+ cycles, effectively doubling the lifespan. One cycle = one open and close of your garage door.
How do I get a quote for this service?
Torsion spring replacement varies by spring size, door weight, and whether you need one or two springs replaced. Contact us for a free quote. Our high-cycle springs include a lifetime warranty.
Can I replace a torsion spring myself?
Never attempt DIY torsion spring repair. Springs are under 200+ pounds of tension and can cause severe injury or death if released improperly. Torsion spring replacement requires specialized tools, training, and safety equipment. Always hire a professional.
Do I need to replace both torsion springs?
Yes, we recommend replacing both springs even if only one broke. Springs installed at the same time have similar wear and the second spring will likely fail soon. Replacing both prevents a second service call and ensures balanced door operation.
How quickly can you replace a broken torsion spring?
Most torsion spring replacements take 45-60 minutes once our technician arrives. We offer same-day service throughout Alabama and can typically arrive within 2-4 hours of your call during business hours.
What causes torsion springs to break?
Normal wear and tear from daily use is the primary cause. Each time you open and close your door, the springs complete one cycle. After 10,000-15,000 cycles, metal fatigue causes the spring to snap. Extreme temperature changes, rust, and lack of lubrication can accelerate wear.
