Signs You Need It
How to Tell Your Spring Is Broken
If you notice any of these, your spring has likely failed:
The door won’t open, or only lifts a few inches then stops
You hear a loud bang from the garage (a spring snapping is loud)
There’s a visible gap or separation in the spring coil
The door feels extremely heavy or slams down when lowered
The door looks crooked or hangs unevenly
The opener strains, runs, but the door won’t move
New Mexico’s temperature swings are hard on springs, cold mornings in particular can push a worn spring over the edge. If you’re seeing the signs, here’s more on signs your spring needs replacing.
Torsion vs Extension
Torsion or Extension Springs? We Handle Both
Not sure which kind you have? Here's the quick version:
Torsion springs mount on a metal bar above the door and twist to lift it. Most modern doors use them. They run smoother and last longer, but they hold a lot of tension and are not a safe DIY fix.
Extension springs run along the tracks on each side and stretch as the door moves. Common on older doors. When one lets go it can snap hard, which is why safety cables matter.
We stock and replace both, matched to your door's exact weight and size, so it opens balanced and the new spring lasts.
Please Don't Try This One Yourself
A garage door spring is under enormous tension. When it's mishandled, it can release that force in an instant and cause serious injury. It's one of the most common ways people get hurt working on their own garage door.
We carry the right torsion and extension springs for your exact door, swap them safely, and balance the door so the new spring lasts. It takes us a single visit, and you never have to touch the dangerous part.
