Signs your torsion spring broke

  • A loud bang from the garage, often when nobody was using the door
  • A two-to-three-inch gap in the spring on the bar above the door
  • The door barely lifts, or the opener strains, hums and stops
  • The door goes up crooked, or the cables hang loose at the bottom corners

If that is what you are seeing, stop using the opener and unplug it. Read what to do (and what not to touch) when a spring breaks.

One spring or two?

Many single-car doors run on one torsion spring — when it breaks, one new spring is the whole job. On a door with two springs, they were usually installed the same day and have done the same number of cycles, so the second one is close behind. In that case we will recommend a pair replacement so they wear evenly. We tell you which makes sense for your door — not whichever costs more.

Why high-cycle springs

Springs are rated in cycles, not years — one cycle is the door opening and closing once. Builder-grade springs are typically rated for around 10,000 cycles. We install high-cycle springs that are built to last considerably longer, which is how we can back every spring we install with a 10-year warranty.

Do not try this one yourself

A torsion spring is wound under enormous tension. Unwinding or adjusting one without the right winding bars and training is how people get badly hurt. Leave the door where it is, keep people and cars out from under it, and call. Curious how springs are sized? Try the free torsion spring calculator and turns chart.

Torsion Spring Replacement FAQ

How long does a torsion spring replacement take?
Usually about an hour, including re-balancing and testing the door. Most jobs are done the same day you call.
Can I open my garage door with a broken spring?
Please don't. The opener is not built to lift the full weight of the door, and forcing it can strip the opener gears or drop the door. If your car is trapped inside, tell us when you call.
Do I need to replace both springs?
Only if your door has two. If it runs on a single spring, one new spring is the whole job. If it has two, we usually recommend replacing both so they wear evenly — see torsion spring pair replacement.
What warranty comes with the new spring?
Every spring we install carries a 10-year warranty. If it fails within ten years, we replace it.
Is the price really out-the-door?
Yes. The price you approve includes tax, parts and labor. It does not go up — even if we find more once we start.
