SIGNS OF A SPRING PROBLEM.
What does a broken spring feel like?
The first clue is often a loud snap from the garage. You may also see a gap in the spring above the door, notice loose cables, or find that the opener strains without lifting the door. These symptoms tell us where to look, but an inspection confirms what needs replacing.
Not sure which one fits? Call (910) 703-7151 and describe what happened.
HOW WE HANDLE SPRING REPLACEMENT.
The replacement should fit your door—not just the space above it.
A spring helps counterbalance the weight of the garage door. Choosing a replacement involves checking the door and its hardware, not simply installing a spring that looks similar.
A CLEAR RECOMMENDATION.
One failed spring—or a pair?
Some doors use one spring; others use two. If a two-spring system has one broken spring, we’ll assess the condition of both and explain the options rather than assume every door needs the same repair. The recommendation depends on the door, the spring setup, and what we find on site.
WHAT YOU’RE SEEING.
A gap is a clue. A balance check confirms the result.
A broken torsion spring often separates and leaves a visible gap between its coils. The photos here show what that failure can look like and why the job does not end when a new spring is installed: the door still needs to be balanced and tested.
A useful first step for a working door.
Is your spring intact but the door noisy?
If the door operates normally and you’re looking for routine maintenance, the $79 Wise Tune-Up may be a better starting point. A broken spring is a repair, not something lubrication or adjustment alone can fix.

HELPFUL ANSWERS.
Questions about broken garage door springs
Can I use the opener with a broken spring?
Stop using it until the door has been inspected. The opener is not meant to lift the full weight of a door with a failed spring, and continued use may damage other parts.
Will you replace both springs?
That depends on the door’s setup and the condition of the springs. We’ll inspect the system, explain the available options, and quote the work before you decide.
Will a $79 tune-up repair a broken spring?
No. The tune-up is routine maintenance for an operating door. A broken spring requires a separate repair and replacement quote.
