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.

Routine yearly maintenance went well. Mike thoroughly explained the work that was done, no issues were found, and further steps to take for garage door care in the future. I appreciate it the work and the expertise care of my garage door. Thank you, Mike
My old garage door broke and I was thinking about installing a new one myself. But for the price I got on the garage door and the install/ removal it was actually way more in my benefit to go with them. Brandon is an amazing guy he came to my place and looked at the garage door and helped me decide what product that best suited me. I’m very glad I went in today! Would 100% recommend them to any friends or family.!!
Working with sales rep Brandon. He was able to come by our home at a time that worked for us. We are very busy and he was flexible and punctual. We have a damaged overhead garage door and within minutes he knew exactly what was needed to be done and gave us a rough estimate on the spot. Shortly afterwards he called us with the exact figure, all in, including taxes and it was extremely reasonable. We received excellent customer service and support by all involved at Overhead Door Company. Very rarely do I not shop around a bit, but in this case Brandon was so knowledgeable, helpful and accommodating that he was our first and only call for help!
Jay was professional and skillful in servicing my garage door. He completed the servicing in a timely and efficient manner. Peace of Mind service and I highly recommend Jay
Don and Jay are excellent. For dispatch, a gentler and more supportive tone would be appreciated, as customers reach out when they truly need help. Occasionally the tone can feel like “why are you calling,” and improving this would really enhance customer experience.
Had a garage door screwup. Overhead door had a service rep out in a few hours. He was fast efficient and polite. Thanks for the excellent service Dave.

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.
