A garage door spring does one job under enormous tension. Torsion springs, mounted on a metal shaft above the door, counterbalance the door’s weight so the opener only needs to do a fraction of the lifting. Extension springs run along the horizontal tracks on either side and work the same way. When either one breaks, the full weight of the door falls on the opener, or on you.
Replacing a broken garage door spring is not a DIY project. Springs are wound under hundreds of pounds of tension, and a mistake with a winding bar can cause serious injury. Our technicians handle every broken garage door spring replacement safely, using the correct spring size and cycle rating for your specific door so it operates reliably and lasts as long as possible.

Springs wear out through repeated use. Most torsion springs are rated for 10,000 to 20,000 cycles, and when they hit that limit, they snap. Cold weather, rust, and lack of lubrication can shorten that lifespan considerably.
You shouldn’t. The door will be dangerously heavy without a functioning spring, and forcing it open puts serious strain on the opener, cables, and rollers. Call us and we’ll get there the same day.
Torsion springs mount on a shaft above the door and unwind as it opens. Extension springs stretch along the horizontal tracks on each side. Both do the same job but require different tools and techniques to repair safely.
Yes. We stock torsion and extension springs on every service truck and can typically complete your garage door spring repair the same day you call.
Most spring repairs take one to two hours from the time our technician arrives. That includes removing the broken spring, installing the correct replacement, and testing the full system.
Yes, it’s genuinely dangerous. Springs are wound under hundreds of pounds of tension, and releasing them incorrectly can cause serious injury. This is one repair that should always be handled by a professional.
Yes. We’re based in Vista and serve all of North County San Diego, including Oceanside, Carlsbad, Del Mar, Cardiff, and Rancho Santa Fe.
Standard springs last 10,000 to 20,000 cycles, which is roughly 7 to 14 years of normal use. Higher-cycle springs are available if you want longer-lasting performance.
Yes. We carry and install both spring types and can handle any residential garage door configuration, including double-spring torsion systems on heavier doors.
