Signs You Have a Broken Spring
*Do not attempt to operate the door—springs are under extreme tension.
Recognizing a broken spring helps prevent further damage to your garage door system. Call us immediately if you notice:
- A Loud Bang: The most common sign is a sudden, loud noise from your garage, like a firecracker.
- The Door Won’t Open: Your opener motor might run, but the door only lifts a few inches or not at all.
- A Visible Gap in the Spring: You will see a 2-3 inch separation in the spring, which is usually located above your door.
- The Door is Crooked or Lopsided: The door lifts unevenly as it tries to open.
- Fallen Emergency Rope: A red emergency release cord that hangs lower than usual can indicate a loss of tension.
Common causes include normal wear and tear from thousands of cycles, extreme temperature changes, and rust accumulation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Broken Springs
Is it safe to open my garage door with a broken spring?
No. Attempting to open the door with the automatic opener can burn out the motor and cause more damage. Manually lifting it is extremely heavy and dangerous. Call a professional immediately.
How long do garage door springs last?
Standard builder-grade springs last about 10,000 cycles (roughly 5-7 years of average use). We offer high-cycle springs that can last 2-4 times longer.
Should I replace both springs at the same time?
Yes. Garage door springs are installed at the same time and have a similar lifespan. If one breaks, the other is likely to fail soon. Replacing both ensures balanced operation and prevents a second service call.
How much does it cost to replace a broken garage door spring?
The cost varies based on the door’s size, weight, and the type of spring system. We provide a firm, upfront quote with no hidden fees before we start any work.
How quickly can you fix my broken spring?
We offer same-day and 24/7 emergency service. In most cases, we can have a technician at your home and your door repaired within a few hours of your call.
Can I replace the springs myself?
We strongly advise against it. Garage door springs are under extreme tension and can cause severe injury or death if handled improperly. This repair should only be performed by a trained, insured professional.
