Broken or fatigued torsion springs are one of the most common causes of sudden garage door failure.
Signs Your Garage Door Spring Needs Replacement
Garage door springs don’t last forever. Over time, they lose tension, fatigue, and eventually fail — sometimes suddenly, sometimes gradually.. When a spring starts to go, the door will almost always give you warning signs first.
Common signs a spring is failing:
- Door won’t open or only lifts a few inches
- Loud bang from the garage (often mistaken for something falling)
- Door feels extremely heavy when lifting manually
- Crooked or uneven door movement
- Excessive noise, shaking, or vibration during operation
- Gaps in the spring or visible separation between coils
- Door opens faster than normal or slams closed
If you’re noticing any of these symptoms, the spring system should be inspected sooner rather than later. A worn spring puts added strain on cables, drums, bearings, and the opener — turning a simple replacement into a bigger repair if ignored.
Spring issues don’t fix themselves — but catching them early prevents breakdowns and safety risks.
What Happens If a Broken Spring Is Left Unrepaired
Continuing to use a garage door with a damaged or failing spring can lead to bigger problems over time. Garage door springs do the heavy lifting, and when they aren’t working properly, the rest of the system is forced to compensate.
You may notice the door becoming harder to open, moving unevenly, or placing extra strain on the opener. In some cases, the door can become unsafe to operate.
If you’re unsure whether your garage door is safe to use, it’s best to have it inspected before a minor issue turns into a larger repair or safety risk.
A fatigued or broken torsion spring can no longer support the weight of the door, forcing other components to work harder.
Operating a garage door with a failed spring can cause uneven movement, track issues, or sudden door failure.
How We Handle Garage Door Spring Replacement
When it comes to garage door spring repair, we follow a proven process to ensure the job is done safely, correctly, and without shortcuts.
This step-by-step process is guided by our AWGD Quiet-Performance Method — ensuring your new springs are properly sized, correctly balanced, and tuned for safe, quiet, long-term operation.
01
Inspect & Diagnose
We inspect the entire spring system, cables, tracks, and opener to identify the real cause of the problem — not just the failed part — so the repair is based on what the door actually needs.
02
Replace & Balance
We replace or adjust the springs, correct balance issues, and address related wear so the door moves smoothly, evenly, and safely without putting unnecessary strain on other components.
03
Final Safety Check & Walk-Through
Before we leave, we complete a full safety check to confirm proper balance, smooth operation, and safe performance, followed by a brief walk-through so you know what was done and what to expect.
The AWGD Quiet-Performance Method™
The AWGD Quiet-Performance Method focuses on how a garage door moves, sounds, and feels not just whether it opens and closes.
Instead of jumping straight to adjustments, we start by inspecting the entire system, correcting wear and instability, and only then setting proper balance. The result is smoother movement, reduced noise, and a garage door that holds up over time.
Garage Door Spring Facts
Do garage door springs actually lift the door?
Yes. The springs carry most of the door’s weight. The opener mainly guides the door — properly sized and balanced springs do the heavy lifting.
Is a broken spring dangerous?
It can be. A broken or failing spring may cause the door to slam, tilt, or become difficult to lift safely, creating a real safety risk.
Why does spring sizing matter?
Springs must match the door’s weight and height. Incorrect sizing leads to poor balance, louder operation, and premature wear on other parts.
Can worn springs cause noise or shaking?
Yes. Grinding, popping, shaking, or uneven movement are common signs that springs are worn or losing tension.
What happens if springs are replaced incorrectly?
Improper spring replacement can cause repeat failures and damage rollers, cables, and openers — often leading to more repairs later.
