The torsion spring is the heart of your garage door system, lifting over 300 lbs of weight every time you press the button. When it breaks, your door becomes immovable and dangerous.
Important Safety Warning
Garage door springs are under extreme tension. We’ve seen too many homeowners get injured trying to replace these themselves with the wrong tools.
Please, let our trained professionals handle the torque safely so nobody gets hurt.
Most builders install standard-grade springs rated for only 10,000 cycles—that’s about 3 to 5 years of usage for an active family.
Our Standard
We upgrade every repair to High-Cycle Oil-Tempered Springs rated for 20,000+ cycles.
The Benefit
You get a repair that lasts twice as long, saving you money and hassle down the road.

What to Expect During Your Repair
Safety Inspection: We start by securing the door and inspecting the cables, drums, and bearings for collateral damage.
Dual Replacement: We always recommend replacing both springs at the same time. If one broke, the other is on its last leg. This ensures your door lifts evenly.
Balance & Tune: We don't leave until the door is perfectly balanced—you should be able to lift it with one hand. We also lube the entire door for quiet operation.
