Ever had your garage door refuse to budge, no matter how hard you try? If so, chances are the culprit is a broken garage door spring. These little coils do all the heavy lifting, and when they snap, you’re stuck—literally. But don’t worry—we’ve got you covered!
Whether you’re looking for expert repairs or just want to learn more about garage door springs, you’re in the right place.
Springs don’t last forever. On average, a garage door spring lasts about 10,000 cycles—one cycle being a full open and close. That might sound like a lot, but if you use your garage daily, they can wear out in seven to 10 years (or sooner with heavy use).
Here are some signs your garage door spring needs replacing:
If you notice any of these signs, don’t try to fix it yourself. Garage door springs are under extreme tension, and attempting a DIY repair can be dangerous.

Called at 3pm, tech arrived at 5pm, fixed the next day. Can’t recommend enough! Thank you Mike!
Really Pleased
Problems with my garage doors surfaced yesterday.
Brandon was here early this morning, and suggested simple tune up for the double doors and replacement of the very old single door opener. Good advice and fair quote.
This afternoon, Wade arrived and did a fabulous job of installing the new single opener, fine tuning the existing double opener, and thoroughly explaining how to operate both. Result : Great Job, everything works like a charm!
Good Price, Great Service.
Thank You
Our garage door malfunctioned and I called and got Brandon. He was excellent! He walked me through steps over the phone with a great attitude and then came and fixed the door while also providing next steps of action with clear communication and expectations.
Highly recommend!
Reached out to overhead door regarding a new opener and in less than a week we had it installed. Great service by our technician Omar as well as the sales team. Highly recommend their services and products. Huge upgrade from our previous garage door opener.
I needed a slider for an old overhead garage door. I was able to get the part within 2 hours. Great people and very quick with the response. Very helpful. Thanks.

Garage door springs work like the muscles of your door. They counterbalance the weight, making it easy for you (or your automatic opener) to lift and lower the door smoothly. Without a properly working spring, your garage door becomes dead weight—and trust us, you don’t want to try lifting it by hand.
There are two main types of garage door springs:
Both types work hard every time you open and close your garage door. And like any hardworking part, they wear down over time.
Look for signs such as difficulty opening the door and uneven movement. If you notice any of these indicators, it’s time to schedule a professional inspection.
While it’s technically possible to replace only one spring, we recommend replacing both springs at the same time. This ensures balanced tension and prevents uneven wear, extending the lifespan of your garage door system.
The lifespan of garage door springs varies based on factors like usage and maintenance. On average, torsion springs last around 10,000 cycles, averaging anywhere from 5 to 8 years. Regular maintenance can help prolong their lifespan.
Garage door spring replacement involves working with parts that are under high tension, and can be dangerous if not done correctly. It is strongly recommended that you hire a professional technician with the expertise and tools to ensure the job is completed safely and effectively.
At Overhead Door, we offer same-day service and 24/7 emergency garage door repairs. We guarantee prompt response times and meet urgent needs.
