Broken Spring? Don't Touch the Door.
Garage door springs are under extreme tension — they do the heavy lifting every time your door opens. When one breaks, the door becomes hundreds of pounds of dead weight. Forcing it open strains the opener motor, stresses the cables, and can bend the top panel. If you heard a loud bang from the garage or the door won't lift more than a few inches, stop and call us at 385-200-1517. We'll usually have it fixed the same day.
Signs Your Spring Is Broken
- A loud bang from the garage — that's the spring snapping under tension
- The opener hums or strains but the door barely moves
- The door opens a few inches, then stops or slams back down
- A visible gap in the spring coil above the door
- The door looks crooked or one side hangs lower
Torsion vs. Extension Springs
Torsion springs mount on a shaft above the door and are the standard on most modern homes. Extension springs run along the horizontal tracks and are common on older Utah County homes. We stock both types on the truck in a full range of sizes, so nearly every spring job is finished in one visit.
We Always Replace Both Springs
If your door has two springs and one broke, the other has the same mileage on it and is close behind. Replacing both at once saves you a second service call in a few months and keeps the door balanced — an unbalanced door wears out the opener fast.
Your Spring Options
- Standard torsion spring — rated about 10,000 cycles (roughly 7–10 years of average use). Reliable, and what most homes need.
- DuraMaster high-cycle spring — rated 15,000–20,000 cycles. A bit more upfront, but for busy households using the garage as the main entrance it pays for itself.
We'll tell you which one fits your door and usage before we start — honest options, no upsell pressure.
