Spring Replacement in California

Safe, same-day torsion and extension spring replacement, sized to your door.

Springs do the heavy lifting every time your door moves — a typical double door weighs 150 to 300 pounds, and the springs carry nearly all of it. When one snaps (usually with a bang like a firecracker), the door becomes dead weight and the opener can't lift it safely.

We replace springs with the correct wire size, length and cycle rating for your door's exact weight, and we replace them in matched pairs so the door balances evenly. Every spring job ends with a full balance test, cable inspection and opener force check.

Spring Replacement questions

Can I replace a garage door spring myself?

We strongly advise against it. Torsion springs hold enough stored energy to cause serious injury, and the wrong size spring will wreck your opener and door. This is the one garage job that should always be professional.

Should both springs be replaced together?

Yes. Springs are rated for the same number of cycles and installed together, so when one breaks the other is near the end of its life. Replacing both saves a second service call within months.

How long do new springs last?

Standard springs are rated around 10,000 cycles — roughly 7 to 10 years of typical use. Our high-cycle upgrades are rated two to three times longer.

Why did my spring break?

Metal fatigue from thousands of open-close cycles, accelerated by heat, coastal corrosion and lack of lubrication. California's temperature swings — desert heat to marine layer — are hard on spring steel.
