Answers

Garage Door Spring Replacement FAQ

Should I replace one spring or both?

If your door uses two springs and one breaks, the second is usually close behind. Replacing both at once means an even, balanced door and one service call instead of two - we’ll give you the honest recommendation for your setup.

Why not replace the spring myself?

Garage door springs store enough energy to cause serious injury. The tools, measurements, and technique matter. For your safety, this is a job for a trained technician.

How long does a spring replacement take?

Most spring replacements are completed in a single visit, often within an hour or two depending on the door.

How long will a new spring last?

Springs are rated in cycles (one open + close = one cycle). We can install higher-cycle springs that last significantly longer - ask us about the options for your usage.
