How to Recognize a Failed Garage Door Spring
Garage doors rely on one of two spring types: torsion springs, which mount horizontally above the door opening, or extension springs, which run along the horizontal tracks on either side. Both store and release tension to counterbalance the door’s weight. When one fails, the whole system feels it.
Common signs of spring failure include:
- Door won’t open: The opener may run, but the door barely lifts or doesn’t move at all
- Loud snap or bang: A spring under tension can snap with a sound like a gunshot
- Uneven or crooked movement: The door rises on one side and drags on the other
- Visible gap in the coil: A broken torsion spring will show a clear separation in the coil above the door
Springs are under extreme tension and aren’t safe to handle without proper training. DIY repair attempts carry a serious risk of injury. If you’re seeing any of these signs, leave the door where it is and call our team.

What Happens During Your Spring Repair Visit
We start with a diagnosis to confirm which spring has failed and assess the condition of related hardware. Then we match your new spring to your door’s exact weight and dimensions. A mismatched spring can throw the entire system off balance, putting strain on the opener and cables over time. Getting it right helps protect the whole door.
For extension spring systems, we replace both springs at once, even if only one has snapped. Springs on the same door age at the same rate, so replacing them together preserves proper balance and helps avoid a second service call in the near future. For torsion spring systems, we carefully calibrate the tension to ensure smooth, even movement.
If we spot wear on cables, rollers, or other components while we’re in there, we’ll point it out and talk through your options. Before we leave, we run a safety and performance inspection to confirm everything is operating the way it should.
