Types of Garage Door Springs

There are two primary types of springs used in garage doors—torsion springs and extension springs. Each type serves a specific function, and when they malfunction, they can cause serious issues with your door’s performance and safety.

  • Torsion Springs – Torsion springs are mounted horizontally above the garage door and twist as the door opens and closes. These springs store mechanical energy by winding up when the door is closed and releasing it when the door is opened. When a torsion spring breaks, the door may become heavy and difficult to lift, or it might not open at all. This can also lead to uneven door operation, where one side of the door rises more slowly than the other, potentially causing damage to the door and its components.

  • Extension Springs – Extension springs run along the horizontal tracks on either side of the door and stretch to provide the necessary force to lift the door. These springs extend when the door is closed and contract as the door opens. If an extension spring breaks, the door may suddenly drop, creating a dangerous situation. Additionally, a malfunctioning extension spring can cause the door to open or close unevenly, leading to further mechanical issues or damage to the door’s structure.

Signs Your Garage Door Spring Needs Repair or Replacement

Garage door springs are vital for balancing the weight of your door and ensuring smooth operation. When these springs start to fail, you’ll notice several key signs. Addressing these issues promptly can prevent further damage and ensure safe, reliable door function.

  • Difficulty Opening or Closing – If your garage door struggles to open or close smoothly, it may indicate a problem with the springs. This difficulty usually means the springs are no longer effectively counterbalancing the door’s weight, leading to increased strain on the door’s opener and potential damage to the door system.

  • Uneven Door Movement – When a garage door moves unevenly, with one side lagging behind the other, it often points to a malfunctioning spring. This imbalance can cause the door to operate erratically and may result in further mechanical issues or damage if not addressed.

  • Loud or Unusual Noises – Unusual sounds such as banging or squeaking when operating your garage door can be a sign that the springs are worn or damaged. These noises occur as the springs struggle to manage the door’s weight, and continued use can exacerbate the problem, leading to a spring breakage.

  • Visible Wear or Damage – Inspect your garage door springs for signs of visible wear, such as cracks, rust, or deformation. Any noticeable damage suggests that the springs are nearing the end of their lifespan and may soon fail, compromising the safety and function of your garage door.

  • Door Stays Open or Falls Quickly – A garage door that remains partially open or falls rapidly can indicate a spring failure. This malfunction often means the springs are no longer providing the necessary counterbalance, which can be dangerous and lead to additional damage if not repaired promptly.

Frequently Asked Questions

The time required to repair or replace garage door springs usually ranges from 1 to 2 hours, depending on the type of spring and the complexity of the repair.

It’s recommended to replace both springs at the same time, even if only one is broken. Springs are typically installed in pairs and have similar lifespans. Replacing both ensures balanced operation and reduces the likelihood of needing another repair soon after.

Garage door springs are under high tension and can cause serious injury if not handled correctly. Torsion springs, in particular, can unwind violently if tampered with, leading to accidents. Our professional technicians have the experience and tools to safely repair or replace springs.

Garage door springs typically last about 7-10 years or around 10,000 – 20,000 cycles (one cycle is a full opening and closing of the door). However, if your springs show signs of wear or your door isn’t functioning properly, they may need to be replaced sooner.

If a spring breaks, the garage door may become too heavy to lift, or it might fall suddenly, posing a safety hazard. Broken springs can also cause the door to operate unevenly, leading to additional damage to the door or its components.

If your garage door spring is making unusual noises, it could indicate that the spring is worn, misaligned, or in need of lubrication. Avoid using the door to prevent more serious issues and contact us to schedule an inspection.
