Serving the Santa Clarita ValleySpring repair service
Torsion springs sit above the door opening on a metal bar. Extension springs run alongside the horizontal tracks. Our technicians are fully equipped to work on both systems.
Springs carry the weight of the door. When one breaks, the opener cannot lift the door on its own, so please do not keep pressing the button.
Best practice #1: replacing both springs
When a door has two springs installed at the same time, one breaking usually means the other is worn too. We inspect both and may recommend replacing the pair to save you another service call and protect your opener.
Best practice #2: the right spring for the door
Doors come in all weights and sizes. The wrong spring overworks the opener and wears out the door. We size springs to your door's weight and confirm with a balance test.
How much does spring repair cost?
It depends on the door size, weight and spring type (torsion or extension). Springs start at $75 each for the part; labor is quoted separately. A technician measures the door and gives you the exact total before any work starts.
Torsion vs. extension springs
Torsion springs mount on a bar above the door and twist to lift it; they are the most common type on newer two-car doors. Extension springs run along the horizontal tracks on each side and stretch as the door closes. Both types store enough energy to cause serious injury, so they should only be adjusted or replaced with the right tools.
How long do garage door springs last?
A spring's life is measured in cycles: one cycle is the door opening and closing once. Standard springs are rated for about 10,000 cycles, which a busy household can use up in under a decade. We carry springs in every rating from 10,000 up to 100,000 cycles, in 10,000-cycle steps (10k, 20k, 30k and so on up to 100k), so a high-cycle spring can last many times longer than a standard one.
Your technician can show you the options for your door, so you can choose between the lowest price today and a spring you may never have to replace again. Heavy use and lack of lubrication shorten any spring's life, which is why the second spring often fails soon after the first.

Can I replace a garage door spring myself?
We strongly advise against it. Springs are under high tension and can cause serious injury. Leave the door closed and call a technician.
Should both springs be replaced?
If the door has two springs of the same age, replacing both is usually recommended. Your technician will inspect them and explain the options.
Can I open the door with a broken spring?
Avoid it. Without a working spring the door is very heavy and can fall. Keep people and pets clear and call us.
