You pull into the garage after a long day, tap the opener—and the door doesn’t budge. You test the button inside, still doesn’t move. More than likely, a worn-out spring is to blame. Garage doors springs can be dangerous as the coiled steel springs handle enormous tension every time you open or close your door. When one snaps, it not only strands your car but can shoot parts around your garage to damage panels, cables or even the opener itself.
For emergencies and same-day service, call now or schedule an appointment:
“They had my new belt-drive opener installed in under an hour—and it’s whisper-quiet. Couldn’t be happier!”
Common Signs Your Springs
Are Wearing Out
Rusty or Frayed Coils
Over time, moisture and dust eat away at the metal. When you see rust—or tiny hairline cracks—your spring is closer to failure than you think.
Unusual Noises
A healthy spring moves silently. If you hear creaks, pops or metal-on-metal screeches, it’s a red flag.

List Item 11Accurate Diagnosis
We’ll measure spring length, wire gauge and cycle rating right on the spot—no guesswork.
-
List Item 22Choosing the Right Spring
There are 3 types of garage door springs we run into:
- Torsion Springs sit above the door and offer smooth balance for heavier models.
- Extension Springs stretch along the track and work well on lighter doors.
- Wayne Dalton Torquemaster Springs are smaller and located inside the torsion tube
For both Extension Springs and Wayne Dalton Torquemaster Springs, we generally convert these to a torsion spring system for a variety of reasons.
Torsion springs are:
- more common
- easier to maintain
- are more durable than extension and torquemaster springs
- are more versatile for both heavy and light doors
- safer when they break due to the design
Torsion springs do have slightly higher initial cost but lower long-term cost due to the longer life and less frequent replacement.

Frequently
Asked Questions
How long will my new springs last?
Most high-quality springs handle 10,000–15,000 cycles (opening + closing = one cycle). With basic maintenance—like a quick silicone-based spray twice a year—they often last even longer.
