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.

Great job by Omar of Overhead Door Company. He quickly replaced the springs on our garage doors. Omar was friendly and explained how the doors operated. He adjusted the springs to the right tension ensuring smooth and safe door operation. I recommend Garage Door Company and Omar.
Awesome experience! Next day service on time and quickly completed. Thanks Dave K. You and your team are why I keep coming back to Overhead Door Co. of Lethbridge for my OH door problems.
The service we received from Michael in the office and Omar the installer was very courteous and professional. We are very pleased with the look and the installation of our new door. It was an absolute pleasure working with you all.
Trevor was wonderful! Thank you so much for coming out first thing Monday morning to fix my snapped bracket and adjust the garage door. Super appreciated his attention to detail and knowledgeable friendly service. If I could give 10 stars I would.
We had two garage doors installed and found the installer professional and easy to work with. He was fastidious with the removal of the old doors and the installation of the new doors. Each time we looked out to see how he was progressing, there was no debris visible. He was clean, organized and meticulous in his approach. The execution and outcome of his work was flawless. Thanks for making it so fun.
I had an issue with one of my garage door openers. My remote stop working for my lift Master opener and thought i needed to replace my whole opener. i tried replacing the remote battery and still did not work.
I called Overhead Door Company and Trever was able to fix my problem over the phone. Trever was very knowledgeable and solved my problem write away.
Its really hard to find good experienced people these days and Trever is defiantly one of them.
I would highly recommend this company to all my friends.

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.
