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.

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.
Omar was great he put in the new door and fixed the overhead rail for us. Thank-you to Trevor for helping us find this affordable garage door that was within our budget. I love my new door thanks!
Excellent experience with Trevor’s team at Overhead Door Company of Lethbridge, Calgary & Cranbrook!
From start to finish, Trevor and his team were outstanding. They guided me through the selection process, explained all the options clearly, and helped me choose the perfect door for my needs. Their communication was professional, prompt, and friendly throughout.
What really stood out was how quickly they arranged the installation — they found the earliest available date and completed everything efficiently and with great attention to detail.
Omar, the Overhead Door Company Techinician did a great job considering this project should have been done by two people for the size of the door.
Even there were some wiring issues with the garage door opener, Omar would call me out and explain what was wrong and why some things were happening. Omar was troubleshooting mostly by himself and then with the aid a Liftmaster rep. Omar finally got things working out and the job was complete.
Thanks to Omar for a wonderful and quite difficult for one person, job.

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.
