3 signs your spring is broken
- Loud bang from the garage. The #1 telltale — usually the spring snapping.
- Door opens 6 inches and stops. The opener can’t lift a door without spring counterbalance. Don’t keep pressing the button or you’ll burn the motor.
- Visible gap in the spring. Look at the torsion spring above the door — a gap means it snapped.
If any of these match: stop using the opener. Even a manually-lifted door with a broken spring can crash down. Call us and we’ll dispatch a tech.
Why DIY is the most dangerous garage door job
Torsion springs store 400–800 lbs of force when wound. They don’t release gradually — they release all at once if the winding bar slips. DIY spring replacement is a leading cause of hand and wrist injuries in home improvement ERs. A professional install takes ~45 minutes and costs $189. The ER visit costs $3,000.

Frequently asked
How much does a broken garage door spring cost to fix?
$189 installed for a single OEM-grade 18,000-cycle torsion spring. Both springs is $329. Extension-spring systems are $219 for the pair. Includes spring, labor, door balance test, and warranty.
How long does spring replacement take?
45 minutes for a single torsion spring, about 60 minutes for both. Add 15 minutes if cables or rollers also need attention.
How long do garage door springs last?
Builder-grade 10,000-cycle springs last 7-10 years. We install 18,000-cycle by default (12-15 years). Optional 25,000-cycle upgrade: 18-22 years. See our full spring lifespan guide.
Should I replace one spring or both?
Both, if the door has two. They were installed at the same time and have the same wear — the second one is 6–12 months behind the first.
What’s the warranty?
1-year parts warranty + 18,000-cycle spring warranty (pro-rated). If the spring breaks before its cycle rating under normal residential use, we replace it free.
Will you install a spring I already bought?
No. The spring we install is the spring we warranty. Wrong-size or wrong-wound springs are dangerous, and we can’t warranty hardware we didn’t source.
