Five ways the springs
tell you they
are finished.
These are symptoms to recognize and describe to us, not things to work on. Springs and cables are under extreme tension and are strictly a technician job. Tap a row to send it to us.
Snapped torsion spring
A bang like a gunshot from the garage, then the door will not lift
Our single most common call. Unplug the opener so nobody tries the button, leave the door where it is, and call us. We replace the pair, rebalance the door and test it before we leave.
Get it fixedThe door is suddenly very heavy
It takes two people to move it, or it will not budge at all
That weight is the spring's job, not yours. A balanced door weighs a few pounds in your hand. When it feels like the full weight of the door, the spring is gone. Stop lifting it and call.
Get it fixedA visible gap in the coil
A two inch gap partway along the spring above the door
That is the break, even if the door still moves. Some doors keep working for a day or two on a broken spring and then fail with the car inside. Once you have seen the gap, the fix is a phone call, not a wait.
Get it fixedThe door slams down
It drops fast in the last few feet instead of settling
Keep everyone clear of the opening. Worn springs, a stretched cable or a cable off its drum all do this. It is the symptom most likely to hurt someone.
Get it fixedCable came off the drum
Loose cable hanging, door sitting crooked in the opening
Do not run the opener. Cables and springs work as one system, so we check and re-tension both. Cables are replaced in pairs the same way springs are.
Get it fixedThree steps.
No surprises.
One truck, one technician. Here is how a spring call goes from the bang to a working door.
You call and leave it alone
Tell us the door size, whether you heard a bang, and whether the car is stuck inside. Unplug the opener so nobody presses the button. That is the safest thing you can do.
We measure the springs and price it
Spring size is set by the weight and height of your door, so we measure rather than guess. You get a free quote, and we check the cables at the same time.
We replace the pair and rebalance
We recommend replacing both, even when one looks fine, because the second is the same age as the first. Then we balance the door by hand, reset the opener limits and run it a dozen times.
We fix the door in front of us.
A broken spring is the moment a door goes from working to useless, and it is the moment it is easiest to sell somebody a whole new door. You get a free quote rather than a sales pitch.
- A free quote, and a straight answer on what it needs.

Tell us the door size and what you heard. Most spring calls are finished the same visit.
