Broken springs are dangerous and render your door inoperable. Our certified technicians safely replace torsion and extension springs with heavy-duty, rust-resistant components rated for 10,000+ cycles.
Garage door springs counterbalance the weight of your door—typically 150-400 pounds. Without functioning springs, your opener strains, cables snap, and the door becomes a safety hazard. At 613 Garage Door Repair, we understand that properly calibrated springs are the heart of your garage door system.
Springs store mechanical energy to lift 90% of your door's weight, reducing opener strain.
Properly tensioned springs prevent uncontrolled door drops that damage property or injure people.
Balanced springs ensure quiet, even movement without jerking or binding in the tracks.
We specialize in both spring types, ensuring the right solution for your specific door configuration.
Mounted horizontally above the door opening, torsion springs twist to store energy. They offer superior balance, smoother operation, and longer lifespan—ideal for heavier doors.
Located on either side of the door tracks, extension springs stretch and contract to provide lifting force. Cost-effective solution for lighter, single-car garage doors.
Don't wait for a complete failure. Watch for these warning indicators that your springs are nearing end-of-life.
A sudden loud noise from the garage often indicates a spring has snapped completely.
If your door feels significantly heavier when lifting manually, springs have lost tension.
Visual gap in the torsion spring coil indicates a break. Extension springs may appear stretched.
Door closes unevenly or one side hangs lower—indicates one spring has failed.
Operating a door with failing springs damages your opener and creates safety risks.
Precision matters when dealing with high-tension springs. Our methodical approach ensures safety and longevity.
We secure the door in place, disconnect the opener, and inspect the entire system for additional wear.
Using professional winding bars, we carefully release tension and remove the broken spring safely.
We install matched spring pairs, calculate proper IPPT (inch-pounds per turn), and wind to manufacturer specs.
Final door balance test, safety reversal check, and hardware inspection ensure perfect operation.
We refuse to use cheap, imported springs that fail within months. Our galvanized, oil-tempered springs are rated for 10,000-20,000 cycles—meaning years of reliable service for the average homeowner.

Standard springs last 7-9 years with typical use (10,000 cycles). Our high-cycle springs last 15-20 years (20,000 cycles). One cycle = one open and close.
Yes. Springs are installed as matched pairs and wear at similar rates. Replacing both ensures balanced operation and prevents a second service call when the other fails.
We strongly advise against it. The door weighs 150-400 lbs without spring support. Attempting to lift it can damage the opener, cables, or cause personal injury. Use the emergency release only if necessary and with assistance.
Cycle rating indicates lifespan. 10,000 cycles = ~7 years for average use. 20,000 cycles = ~15 years. High-cycle springs use thicker wire and more coils, providing longer service life for frequently used doors.
