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.

New door and opener look great and operate perfectly. Omar, the installer and service technician, did a masterful job of removing the old door and assembling and installing the new one. He went above and beyond in helping add a 1″ door jamb trim to close a gap along the top of the new door
I was very impressed with Overhead Doors. Russ came to give me the quote I requested for a new garage door opener, but he felt my existing one could be fixed. Derek came to do the repairs and it is as good as new! No up-selling!
Omar did a great job installing the garage door. He ensured the door was properly installed and provided an orientation on the operation of the door. Great job!
I sold my mom’s house and the sales contract indicated that a garage door opener was included. I explained that the garage door probably had not been opened in 20 years and I was pretty sure I would not be able to find the garage door opener. Unfortunately the garage door opener was left in the contract. A few days before possession which happened to be on a long weekend the new owners were requesting a garage door opener. I took a picture of the garage door opener which happened to be an original from Overhead Door. The picture was sent to the Service Manager – Patrick Belisle. Based on the picture he said I would need a new transmitter/receiver and to call him on Tuesday (after the holiday Monday). I phoned him on Tuesday and within 1/2 hour a nice young man – Wade – appeared and set up a new garage door opener and greased all the squeaky parts. This was absolute great service as they came right away realizing that possession date was the next day. I was very thankful for the great and prompt service and the very reasonable price considering the urgency of the matter. I would highly recommend Overhead Door.
Ormaile installed my garage door opener. He was very punctual, friendly and competent.
I was very happy with this service.
We recently replaced two garage doors and 5 windows on our 30 year old house in January no less. This was not an ideal time, but, the price, communication, installation and follow-up and efficiency with which they conducted their work was second to none. We were pleased in all respects. In addition, the installers were friendly, courteous and professional – a pleasure to work with.

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.
