Garage door springs are under extreme tension — they counterbalance 150-250 lbs every time your door opens and closes. Standard springs are rated for about 10,000 cycles. At 4 uses per day, that’s roughly 7 years of life. When they fail, the door becomes inoperable or dangerous. Same Day Garage Door Repair replaces those springs with 25,000-cycle springs. Our springs are powder-coated to extend garage door spring life and don’t require lubrication every 6 months.
Signs Your Spring Is Broken
- Door won’t open or feels extremely heavy when lifted manually
- Loud bang from the garage — sounds like a gunshot
- Visible gap in the spring coil above the door
- Door opens crooked — one side higher than the other
- Door slams shut instead of closing smoothly
- Cables hanging loose on one or both sides
⚠️ Do NOT attempt to repair springs yourself. Garage door springs store enough energy to cause serious injury or death. Always call a licensed professional.
