Why Garage Door Springs Fail
Garage door springs are built to handle thousands of open-and-close cycles, but over time they naturally wear down. Most spring failures are caused by normal usage, rust buildup, improper balance, or extreme temperature changes. When a spring breaks, it can stop your door from functioning safely and efficiently — often without warning.
- Normal wear and tear (10,000+ cycle lifespan)
- Rust buildup that weakens metal coils
- Improper door balance puts extra strain on springs
- Sudden temperature changes
- Poor-quality or incorrectly sized springs

FAQ
Below are answers to common questions homeowners in London, ON have about garage door spring repairs.
What's the difference between torsion and extension springs?
Torsion springs are mounted horizontally above the garage door and are the modern standard, offering more durability and a safer operation. Extension springs are located on either side of the door and stretch to open it. We recommend torsion springs for their longer lifespan and smoother performance.
How do I know if my garage door spring is broken?
You likely have a broken spring if you hear a loud bang from your garage, the door feels extremely heavy to lift manually, it opens only a few inches and stops, or you see a visible gap in the spring coils. For safety, do not attempt to operate the door and call a professional immediately.
Is it dangerous to replace a garage door spring myself?
Yes, replacing garage door springs is extremely dangerous and should only be performed by a trained professional. Springs are under immense tension and can cause severe injury or property damage if they are not handled correctly. Our certified technicians have the specialized tools and expertise to do the job safely.
How long do garage door springs last?
Manufacturers measure all garage door parts by cycle. A cycle is one complete open and close of your garage door. Typically, springs are rated for 10-15,000 cycles of operation. This means the lifespan of your springs will depend on how often you use your garage door. This said, garage door springs tend to last between 8-12 years. However, you can increase their lifespan by maintaining your springs.
Why is my garage door not opening?
There are many reasons why your garage door won’t open, but commonly the issue will be with your springs. A broken garage door spring can cause your door not to open automatically or manually because it supports the door’s weight. If the spring can’t hold that weight to lift the door, you can’t operate it. In this case, you likely need a spring replacement for your garage door to function.
Do you offer spring replacement?
Yes, we do dozens of these each week and have certified and trained Technicians ready to help you with your garage door spring issues. We will provide you with an upfront estimate to replace your springs before we start any work. Contact us for same-day or next day service!
How much does spring replacement cost?
The cost of a spring replacement will vary depending on the type of spring you have and gauge of spring you need. Of course, larger and heavier doors require more heavy duty springs. On the other hand, 8-9 foot garage doors may only need a low gauge spring replacement. In order to get a more accurate price for your spring issue, you can contact us now and we will provide you with an estimate for a spring replacement in your home.
How long does it take to replace a garage door spring?
A standard garage door spring replacement typically takes our technicians 30 to 60 minutes to complete. This includes removing the broken spring, installing the new one, and ensuring the garage door is properly balanced and tested for safe operation.
Should I replace both garage door springs at the same time?
Yes, we strongly recommend replacing both springs at the same time. Garage door springs have a similar lifespan, so if one breaks, the other is likely to fail soon after. Replacing both ensures your door remains balanced, prevents extra strain on the new spring, and saves you money on a future service call.
