Broken torsion spring? Your garage door won't open and you're stuck. We offer same-day torsion spring replacement throughout Oklahoma City with high-cycle springs rated for 25,000+ cycles and backed by a lifetime warranty.
What Are Torsion Springs?
Torsion springs are heavy-duty coiled springs mounted on a metal shaft above your garage door opening. They provide the counterbalance force that makes it possible to lift a 150-300 pound garage door with minimal effort.
When you open your garage door, torsion springs unwind and release stored energy to lift the door. When you close it, the springs wind up and store energy for the next opening. This constant winding and unwinding creates wear that eventually causes the spring to snap.
Most residential garage doors use 1-2 torsion springs depending on door weight and size. Double-car garage doors typically use two springs for balanced operation.
Warning Signs of a Broken Torsion Spring
Most Common Sign: Loud Bang
If you hear a loud bang or snap from your garage, a torsion spring likely just broke. The sound comes from the sudden release of 200+ pounds of tension.

Never Attempt DIY Torsion Spring Repair
Torsion springs are under extreme tension (200+ pounds of force) and can cause severe injury or death if released improperly. DIY repair attempts result in hundreds of emergency room visits every year.
Professional torsion spring replacement requires specialized winding bars, safety equipment, training, and experience. Our technicians complete torsion spring training and follow strict safety protocols.
Always hire a professional for torsion spring repair. The risk is not worth the cost savings.
Frequently Asked 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 much does torsion spring replacement cost?
Torsion spring replacement typically costs $200-$400 depending on spring size, door weight, and whether you need one or two springs replaced. We provide upfront pricing before starting work. 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 Oklahoma City 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.
