Broken Spring Replacement NYC & Long Island

Overview

A garage door spring does the heavy lifting: it carries most of the door's weight so the opener only has to guide it.

When one snaps you hear a bang, the door goes dead, and the opener strains or lifts the door a few inches before giving up. Our trucks carry torsion and extension springs for every standard residential door, so almost every spring job is finished in one visit.

What is included

Torsion spring replacement (single and double spring systems)
Extension spring replacement with safety cables
High-cycle spring upgrades for busy households
Spring rebalancing, cable inspection and full safety check on every job

Questions

Broken Spring Replacement: common questions

Why replace both springs if only one broke?

Springs wear at the same rate. When one fails the other is usually close behind, and mismatched tension makes the door lift unevenly. Replacing both costs less than a second visit.

Can I open the door with a broken spring?

Please do not. A standard door weighs 150 to 300 pounds. Without the spring, the opener can burn out and the door can drop. Leave it and call us.

How long do garage door springs last?

Standard springs are rated for about 10,000 cycles, roughly 7 to 10 years for a family that uses the door a few times a day. High-cycle springs last two to three times longer.
