Garage Door Spring Replacement in Massachusetts

Signs you need broken spring replacement

• A loud bang from the garage, like a gunshot
• A visible gap in the spring over the door
• Door opens a few inches, then stops
• Opener hums or strains but the door doesn't move
• Cables hanging loose beside the door

What we do

1. Measure the door weight, wire size and spring length
2. Replace springs in pairs so both sides wear evenly
3. Inspect cables, drums and bearings while the tension is off
4. Wind and balance to the door's exact weight
5. Lubricate, test, and set opener force

Good to know

Torsion springs sit on a shaft above the door; extension springs run along the horizontal tracks. Both store enough energy to cause serious injury, which is why winding them is a job for trained technicians with the right bars and clamps.

Standard springs are rated for about 10,000 cycles — roughly 7 to 10 years for most families. If you use the garage as your front door, ask about high-cycle springs: they cost a little more and last two to four times longer.
