Spring Repair &
Replacement

Broken torsion or extension spring? Your garage door won't move safely without it. We carry all sizes and replace them the same day — safely and affordably.

Don't Try to Repair Springs Yourself

Broken springs are dangerous — call a professional

Garage door springs are under extreme tension (up to 300 lbs of force). Attempting DIY repairs without proper tools and training can cause serious injury or death. Call iRepair and we'll have it fixed safely the same day.

Torsion Spring Replacement

Torsion springs sit above the door and are the most common type. We replace single and double torsion spring systems for all door sizes.

Extension Spring Replacement

Extension springs run along the sides of the track. We replace worn or broken extension springs and install safety cables to prevent injury if they snap again.

All Sizes in Stock

We carry a wide inventory of spring sizes so there's no waiting on parts — your door gets fixed in a single visit.

Safety Cables Installed

Every extension spring replacement includes safety cable installation — a critical safety feature that prevents the spring from flying if it breaks.

Same-Day Service

Call in the morning and we'll have your door working by the end of the day. We know a broken spring means you can't leave your garage.

Full Door Tune-Up

After replacing your spring, we balance and test the door, lubricate all moving parts, and adjust the opener settings for smooth operation.

Spring Repair Questions

How do I know if my spring is broken? +

Signs include: a loud bang from the garage (the spring snapping), door that won't open or opens only partially, visible gap in the coil above the door, or a door that feels extremely heavy when lifted manually.

Should I replace one spring or both? +

We recommend replacing both springs at the same time. Springs wear at the same rate, so if one breaks, the other will likely fail soon. Replacing both saves you a second service call and ensures balanced tension on your door.

How long do garage door springs last? +

Standard springs are rated for about 10,000 cycles (one open + one close = one cycle). For most families that's 7–10 years. High-cycle springs rated for 25,000+ cycles are available if you want longer life.

Is it safe to drive my car out with a broken spring? +

No — operating a garage door with a broken spring puts excessive strain on the opener motor and cables, and can cause additional damage. Keep the door closed and call us for same-day service.
