Q: How do I know if my garage door spring is broken?

Common signs include a door that won’t open, a loud bang, uneven lifting, or a visible gap in the spring.

WHAT ARE GARAGE DOOR SPRINGS

Garage door springs are responsible for lifting and balancing the full weight of your garage door. Most residential garage doors weigh hundreds of pounds, and without properly working springs, the door becomes unsafe and difficult to operate.

When garage door springs begin to fail, they place excessive strain on the opener, cables, and tracks, increasing the risk of sudden breakdowns and costly damage.

TYPES OF GARAGE DOOR SPRINGS

Torsion Springs

Torsion springs are mounted above the garage door and are the preferred system for modern garage doors. They provide smoother operation, increased safety, and longer lifespan.

Extension Springs

Extension springs run along the sides of the garage door tracks and are commonly found on older systems. These springs can wear unevenly and cause balance issues if not replaced correctly.

High-Cycle Springs

High-cycle garage door springs are designed for garages that are used frequently. They last significantly longer than standard springs and reduce the need for future replacements.

Garage Door Spring FAQs

How do I know if my garage door spring is broken?

If your garage door won’t open, feels extremely heavy, makes a loud bang, lifts unevenly, or you notice a visible gap in the spring, it’s likely broken. A damaged spring prevents the door from lifting safely and should be repaired immediately.

Is it dangerous to replace garage door springs yourself?

Yes. Garage door springs are under extreme tension and can cause serious injury if handled incorrectly. Spring replacement should always be performed by trained professionals with the proper tools and experience.

What is the difference between torsion and extension springs?

Torsion springs are mounted above the door and provide smoother, quieter, and longer-lasting performance. Extension springs run along the sides and are typically found on older or lighter garage doors. Torsion systems are generally more reliable and durable.

How long do garage door springs last?

Standard springs usually last 7–10 years or about 10,000 cycles. High-cycle springs can last significantly longer. Frequent daily use may reduce lifespan, which is why regular inspections are recommended.

Can I open my garage door if the spring is broken?

It’s not recommended. Operating a garage door with a broken spring can damage the opener, cables, and tracks, and may cause the door to fall suddenly. Avoid using the door and schedule repair as soon as possible.

Do you offer same-day garage door spring repair?

Yes. Top Garage Door provides same-day garage door spring repair and replacement throughout Ocean County and Monmouth County, NJ. Our technicians arrive fully equipped to fix both torsion and extension springs on the spot.
