Garage Door Springs Repair: The Most Common Garage Door Repair

If your garage door has suddenly stopped working, chances are that you have broken garage door tension springs. Replacing garage door springs is the most common repair our professionals perform. When you consider the great deal of tension these springs are under, this isn’t surprising. After lifting and lowering your door day in and day out for years on end, your torsion garage door springs will eventually give out, rendering your system almost completely useless. In order to regain the use of your door, you will need to schedule a replacement as soon as possible.

Fortunately, our repairmen have a lot of experience safely replacing broken garage door springs. You won’t have to worry about your springs once we’re through with them! We make sure to keep our service vehicles fully stocked with the highest-quality garage door springs, so your technician can adequately address your garage door springs repair.

We offer same-day garage door spring replacement in Martinsburg, WV, and the surrounding towns of Hagerstown, Chambersburg, and Winchester in order to get your garage door system up and running as soon as possible. The actual repair will not take very long, so call us today to get yours scheduled!

The average torsion spring will last for around 10,000 cycles — each cycle being one full opening and closing. If you used your garage door once a day, the springs would last for about thirteen years. Since most people use their garage doors more than that, you can expect your springs to last ten to twelve years. If you suspect it’s time for replacement springs, don’t hesitate to speak to our technicians today about a solution that will work for your home.

We recommend replacing both springs together, even if you only have one broken spring on your garage door. Since they were installed at the same time and have similar lifespans, if one goes, the other will soon follow.

Important Things to Note About Garage Door Spring Replacements

Garage Door Spring Replacements Are Dangerous

garage door spring replacement

When you have broken garage door torsion springs, your garage door can become very dangerous. The springs work with the cables to bear the weight of the garage door. Since a garage door is so heavy, the springs have to hold a lot of energy in order to allow you to effortlessly open your door.

When a spring breaks, all of that stored energy can shoot out in unexpected ways. Your spring could pop out, your door could slam shut, or other parts of your garage door may break.

When your garage door spring wears out, let a professional handle it by safely performing a garage door spring replacement. Our Martinsburg, WV, technicians know just what to do to make sure that nothing dangerous will occur.

There Are Two Types of Garage Door Springs

There are two main types of garage door springs: torsion and extension. A torsion spring is the most common and the safest. It operates by spinning to raise and lower the garage door. You can find it rolled into a coil above your door. When a torsion spring breaks, it tends to stay in the same spot.

An extension spring, on the other hand, operates by extending in order to raise and lower the garage door. You can find this spring stretched out on either side of the door. These tend to fly out randomly when they break. Because of their potential hazard, these springs aren’t in many homes nowadays, but you may still see some.

Whether you have torsion or extension garage door springs, our technicians can get your system back in top working condition when issues arise. We have been performing broken garage door spring repairs for over 25 years and do not shy away from even the most complex situations. Let us restore order to your garage door system today.

    Cameron is a fine mechanic and personable. Worked efficiently. The lack of the fifth star is attributable to my not getting up-front pricing before scheduling the appointment. I don’t know what the market is, only what it was. The cost difference, from a prior vendor, from 4 years ago was beyond my imagination. BUT……Door Serv Pro provided a great service, on time, exactly as they proposed. Be comfortable by first obtaining a quote.
