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.

Overhead Door Company of Calgary has serviced our home over the years. When my parents required a new garage door they were my first call. The sales team Grant Steele & Elwin Reid provided great advice & suggestions to meet our needs. Door arrived earlier than expected and installed efficiently. Thank you
Jessie was amazing and provided fast and professional service. He not only fixed our door, but noticed and corrected a few other things that would improve performance, and gave me some very helpful owner maintenance tips. Once again, I’ve received excellent service from overhead doors, and will continue to recommend and use them. Jessie in particular gave excellent service and deserves credit as a very valuable employee.
I had several questions to ask about overhead doors, but I hesitated a lot.
However,
Kabneet provided a truly kind and comfortable consultation, and the staff member in charge helped me understand the process much better. Furthermore, not only was I able to purchase the correct items from the shop they recommended, but I was also able to receive various pieces of advice.
I am grateful for your kindness and will visit again if I need anything in the future.
Very satisfied with the workmanship. Shout out to the technician, Andres, and the coordinator, Sheri, who were both very communicative and courteous!
Had Mike B. and Andres install 2 replacement garage doors yesterday. Very impressed with the entire process. Mike called first thing in the morning to advise their arrival time (they were actually about 15 minutes early). When the arrived they explained how the job would go and how long it was likely to take. The workmanship was flawless and they left everything neat and tidy when they were done. They were also both very friendly and polite. Kudos to Overhead Door for having quality technicians like these two. A very good experience overall. Recommended.

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.
